17 active wildland fires across the Northwest Region, including several not under control near Fort Frances, Ignace and Thunder Bay-area travel corridors.
The update matters locally as fire activity is affecting highways, Indigenous communities and rural areas across Northwestern Ontario at the start of the long weekend.
