One new fire was reported in Dryden District early yesterday morning while a second report was called in later in the day about possible smoke in the northern sector of Sioux Lookout District, the Ministry of Natural Resources noted this morning.
Dryden District fire #14, a human-caused blaze smouldering in a slash pile, was reported and suppressed by a logging company.
There were no new fires in the West Fire Region yesterday.
Aviation and fire operations are scaling back following normal seasonal changes and downgrades as cooler, wet weather comes through and the fire hazard drops.
Seven fires remain active in the region, but they are not threatening any values.
Two fires—Nipigon District fire #20 and Thunder Bay District fire #36—were declared “out” in the West Fire Region by the end of Friday.
This leaves just seven fires still “active” in the region, including three in Kenora District, two in Thunder Bay District, one each in Nipigon District and Sioux Lookout District.
