Eleven new forest fires in northwestern Ontario were reported yesterday, but the Ministry of Natural Resources says it's making good process on the fifty-plus still burning.
Fire Information Officer Debbie MacLean says it's allowed them to release some of the out-of-province fire crews from active duty.
Maclean says this has been the most destructive fire season in 50 years, with more than 622-thousand hectares of forest burned.
Four of the fires still active are at the southern part of Quetico Provincial Park but are posing no real threat.
