(Prescribed Burn conducted by Ministry of Natural Resources last week - MNR photo)The forest fire season isn't done just quite yet.
The Ministry of Natural Resources says there were two new fires reported last week in the Rainy River district, both small and lightning-caused near Flanders.
The fires were spotted while the MNR was doing a prescribed burn at Pekagoning Lake.
One at Big Joe Lake, north of Flanders, is still listed as being active, as does another another within Quetico Provincial Park which has been burning since October 6.
MNR crews from both Kenora and Fort Frances also responded to a lightning-caused fire on the Aulneau Peninsula on Lake of the Woods which burned 4.5 hectares.
