From the MNRF
There are 65 active fires in the Northwest Region as of yesterday afternoon.
These are located in the Red Lake, Thunder Bay, Nipigon, and Sioux Lookout districts.
Most of them have remained small, and fire crews are making good progress on the active blazes.
Many of these fires will be monitored as they are located in remote areas and pose no hazard to the public.
The forest fire hazard is “moderate” to “high” across the region.
Unsettled weather is expected over the next couple of days, but rainfall will be scattered and light.
This will assist with suppression efforts but only will reduce the fire hazard temporarily.
