Forest Fire Season Not Over Yet
A reminder the fire season
in Northwestern Ontario isn't over yet. The Ministry of Natural Resources says
it reponded to 6 new blazes in the region, including two more in the Kenora
area. One was located near Minaki while the other was just South of Kenora on
Lake of the Woods. The M.N.R. says all the new fires were the result of
lightning strikes over the past few days. With warmer conditions expected over
the next few days, fire crews are expecting to see more activity.
