Weekend Rains Reduce Fire Hazard

There are 66 forest fires now burning here in the northwest district.

Officials with the Ministry of Natural Resources say 476 forest fires have started this year burning more than 69-thousand hectares of land.

Weekend rain has helped the situation in southern parts of the district.

The M.N.R. now says the fire hazard is "Low" for the entire region.
