Fire Hazard Remains High to Extreme

Northwestern Ontario has seen more than 100 fires since the season officially began at the start of this month.
In comparison, there were just 194 wild fires reported in the region all of last year.
Information Officer Debbie McLean says its certainly a turn around from the last couple of years.
A Restricted Fire Zone is in effect, meaning that all open air burning is prohibited.
21-new fires sparked over the weekend.
