Nipigon Fire #20 has now consumed over 14,000 hectares of land
northwest of Nakina.
Ministry of Natural Resources Information Officer Debbie McLean says
the blaze is so intense that they haven’t been able to put crews ahead of
the fire.
McLean says a number of firefighters have been deployed to the area.
n049 runs: 19 sec. out…some lightning.
An Emergency Area Order is now in effect and travel on roads near the fire has been restricted.
