Forest fire hazard across northwestern Ontario has dropped to low.
Sixty-six fires are still active, but were slowed by rain on the weekend.
Among the new blazes in the Rainy River district was one near Lizard Lake north of Sapawe.
It's listed as being under control.
Five fires are now within Quetico Provincial Park, but are being allowed to burn themselves out because of their benefit to the ecosystem.
All of the fires in the district are being identified as being lightning-caused.
