The forest fire season doesn’t officially end until October 31st, but things are winding down for the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The fire hazard is low and the MNR is starting to prepare for the off-season.
Northwestern Ontario has seen 664-fires, burning a total of nearly 99,000 hectares of land.
That’s a far cry from last fire season when the MNR reported 908-fires, covering 629,000.
The MNR is still asking the public to be careful with outdoor fires.
