Fire Rangers Remain Busy

Cooler, and damp conditions yesterday helped put a bit of a damper on the fire situation in northwestern Ontario.

Fire crews have responded to 20 new blazes over the past two days, including four new ones yesterday.

While the fire behind Valleyview School has been declared out, a couple of other fires on Lake of the Woods are still being monitored.

Kenora Fire 103 is located on the east side of Big Narrows Island and has grown to 36 hectares.

The MNR says that fire is still not posing any threat to people or property.
