Island Fire Out

An island fire on Rainy Lake is now out.

The fire, which started by a lightning strike last week on an island in the north arm of the lake, was allowed to burn itself out.

It scorched only point-one of a hectare.

No other fires are burning in the the Rainy River district where recent rain has reduced the forest fire hazard to moderate.
