Several forest fires were reported in the northeastern Ontario over the last day.
Ontario's Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources, and Forestry says six new "wildland fires" were confirmed by late Tuesday afternoon, including: a 100 hectare fire not yet under control in the Timmins region, about two kilometres southeast of Morin Village and half a kilometre from Barager's Lake; a 20 hectare fire in the Timmins region located in Duchabani Creek, 1.5 kilometres northwest of Cullen Lake; and four fires in the Sudbury region, including a 150 hectare blaze one kilometre southwest of Sharkey's Lake and one kilometre from Nepewassi Lake road and a 20 hectare blaze 600 metres north of Ashigami Road and 0.3 kilometres west of Ashigami Lake Road East.
In total, eleven fires were still burning as of the afternoon update, including a now-27.7 hectare fire in the Sault Ste. Marie region, north of Camp 7 Bay of Matinenda Lake, a 40-hectare fire along the beach in Garden River First Nation on the west side of Ojibway Park, and smaller fires near Highways 670 and 552.
