Smoke Issues from Minnesota Fire

A 60,000 acre forest fire in Ely, Minnesota continues to blow smoke into Northwestern Ontario.
The fire is burning about 15-kilometres south of the Canadian Border, near Quetico Provincial Park.
The smoke is not only an issue locally, it’s also being reported as far east as Owen Sound and Barrie.
The Ministry of Natural Resources says shifting winds have led to unusual fire behaviour.
The fire poses no threat to Canadian communities, however some U.S. road closures and evacuations have taken place.
There are 45-active forest fires in Northwestern Ontario, affecting an area of nearly 480,000 hectares of land.
