Lightning Fires A Concern


The threat of more lightning-caused fires still a concern for the Ministry of Natural Resources.

MNR spokesperson Heather Pridham says with recent warm temperatures, new fires are popping up almost daily.


There's no restriction on camp fires, but Priham says the public should take precaution to minimize the threat of human caused fires adding to the MNR's workload.

The three fires reported in the Rainy River district at Entwine Lake, White Otter Lake and Kishkutena Lake have all been declared out.
