Focus for Ministry of Natural Resources forest firefighters continues to be in the remote north.
Eleven fires of the 70 active are now over 100 hectares.
One of the largest is within Woodland Caribou Provincial Park that has scorched almost one thousand hectares.
Another concern is a cluster of fires burning near the remote communities of Deer Lake and Keewaywin where smoke may be a concern for residents.
Meantime, a new forest fire has been reported in the Rainy River district.
The small fire, located at Dash Lake, north of Emo, is listed as being human caused, but under control.
It's the 35th fire in the district this fire season.
