MNR Hoping For A Calm Long Weekend

It’s going to be a hot holiday weekend across the Northwest and it could be a busy one for Ministry of Natural Resources fire crews.
Information Officer Debbie MacLean says there are 11 active forest fires in the region.
Nine are in the Sioux Lookout District, one in the Nipigon District and one in the Kenora area.
MacLean says while a restricted fire zone is not in effect, the public is urged to use extreme caution with outdoor fires.
She also reminds people that if they are lighting fireworks this weekend, that the residue must be put out.
