Forest Fire Activity Continues

There still seems to be some life to the forest fire season in northwestern Ontario.

The Niobe volunteer fire department was called to extinguish a fire Sunday, five kilometres east of the Nym Lake road.

It was caused when a tree fell over a hydro transmission fire.

While small in size, it was declared at the 19th forest fire in the Fort Frances fire district.
