A few forest fires were reported in the Wawa district over the weekend.
Ontario's Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry says "Wawa 7" reached a tenth of a hectare in size - east of Pukaskwa National Park - before it was declared out, while "Wawa 8" - also reported on Friday - grew from one hectare to 2.8, though it is now listed as "being held" northeast of Killala Lake, within the Restricted Fire Zone north of Marathon.
One other fire is burning in the district: "Wawa 9" - reported Saturday - which is not under control at 4.2 hectares in size, about 15 kilometres north of Highway 17, near Highway 614.
The fire hazard is mostly extreme in the Wawa District - dropping to high or even moderate in the southeast - while the Chapleau District's mostly high, with sections of extreme or moderate hazard.
