Forest Fires On The Decline
Cooler temperatures and
rain throughout the region are keeping the forest fire situation at bay. There
were no new fires confirmed yesterday in the Northwest Region. Widespread rain
has reduced the forest fire hazard to low for the entire region and is keeping
the fire situation quiet. There are 53 active forest fires in Northwestern
Ontario; of those 53 fires, 51 are being monitored by the Ministry of Natural
Resources.
