Fire Hazard Climbs


The forest fire hazard is on the climb in northwestern Ontario.

The Ministry of Natural Resources says the hazard is sitting at moderate to high for much of the region with higher hazards in the southern portions of Fort Frances, Quetico Provincial Park and Thunder Bay areas.

With no rain in the immediate forecast, the MNR is expecting the hazard to climb further.

There are currently 6 fires burning, none in the Rainy River district.
