The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has declared a Restricted Fire
Zone across most of our broadcast area.
The “RFZ” extends from the Manitoba border
eastward to the northern Regional boundary including the northern sections of Kenora, Dryden and Nipigon Districts and the entire Red Lake and Sioux
Lookout Districts.
For more detailed information on the RFZ boundaries, please contact your
local Ministry of Natural Resources Office or visit the website: at
www.ontario.ca/forestfire.
The RFZ is being implemented to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires
and is in place for the period from one minute after midnight on Saturday
morning, July 16, 2011 until such time that conditions improve across the
Northwest Region and the RFZ is officially removed.
