Contracts have been extended that will keep them in place until the middle of September.
Information officer Debbie McLean says the recent warm weather prompted the move.
There are currently 26-active fires in the northwest region.
Three of them are in the Rainy River district.
Two are locating at the south end of Quetico Provincial Park.
As they pose no real threat and can help the park's ecosystem, the Ministry is allowing them to burn themselves out.
A third fire, northeast of Fort Frances near Cornell Lake, is currently being held.
All three were lightning caused.
