Fire Hazard Starting To Climb

The forest fire hazard is increasing across the region.
The latest update from the Ministry of Natural Resources shows the fire hazard has moved into the moderate and high range across the northwest.
Despite this influx no new fires have been reported since last weekend.
There are only 2 small blazes in the region.
Both are in the Red Lake District and are causing no concerns to people or property.
At the same time almost 530 personnel continue to assist with efforts in B.C., Alberta and Northwest Territories.
Those crews have also brought over 400 power pumps and 2,000 lengths of hose with them.
