Active Forest Fire Day

The Ministry of Natural Resources experienced one of its busiest days yesterday this forest fire season.

Twenty-seven new fires popped up as a result of Monday night's storm that brought a lot of lightning.

One of the new fires is located just west of Lac La Croix First Nation.

It's less than a hectare in size.

Sixty-five fires are now active in northwestern Ontario.
