The Ministry of Natural Resource has sent more help to battle forest fires in other provinces.
Yesterday, firefighters from the Fort Frances, Kenora, Red Lake, Dryden and Sioux Lookout areas were dispatched to The Pas, Manitoba.
Two waterbombers and birddog aircraft were also sent.
The MNR also has personnel in Quebec and the Northwest Territories.
Meantime, it was a busy weekend for remaining Ministry of Natural Resources firefighters in northwestern Ontario.
Sixteen new fires were reported caused by lightning and the high winds that went through the area.
The Fort Frances fire region had eight new starts.
All were small in size and started as a result of trees falling across hydro lines.
Fires were located in and around Nichol Lake, Finland, Crystal Lake Beach, Mine Centre and Factor Lake Road.
