The Ministry of Natural Resources is on high alert heading into the weekend. The warm weather has pushed the forest fire hazard to high in most areas and is expected to move to extreme.
Six new fires have been reported in the last two days after thunderstorms moved through the region.
Five of those fires were lightning caused, one of them was human-caused and is being investigated.
The MNR is reminding everyone to use caution with outdoor burning this weekend.
