Five new wildfires reported in northwestern Ontario as dry conditions persist

Dry conditions continue across Northwestern Ontario as the region’s active wildfire count climbs to 110.

Five new fires were discovered Tuesday night between Thunder Bay and Kenora, with two currently listed as not under control.

Fire crews say several large fire clusters remain their biggest concern, including the Rinker Lake Complex and the Atikokan Cluster.

Evacuation orders remain in effect in affected areas as firefighters continue working to contain the blazes.

Crews say the ongoing dry weather is continuing to create challenging conditions for suppression efforts.
