Three new fires reported

Three new fires were reported in the West Fire Region by 5 p.m. yesterday.
Fort Frances Fire #18, Fort Frances Fire #19, and Nipigon Fire #14 all were 0.1-hectare blazes that were responded to by firefighters.
The weather forecast is calling for sunny and dry conditions across the region, which will result in a continual rise in the forest fire hazard and an increase in forest fire activity.
Please use caution with all outdoor fires.
The MNR also wishes to remind residents that day burning of brush or grass is not allowed under the Forest Fires Prevention Act of Ontario.
Burning of brush or grass should be done no sooner than two hours before sunset and it must be put it out no later than two hours after sunrise.
Choose a safe site, keep your fire small, and never leave it unattended. Also remember to ensure the fire is put dead out before leaving the site.
If you live in a municipality, check local bylaws for any burning restrictions that may apply.
