Small Forest Fire Reported in Chapleau Region, Now Out

A small forest fire was reported in the Chapleau region - but it's already out.

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's Aviation, Forest Fire, and Emergency Services says "Chapleau 15" was confirmed Monday, a tenth of a hectare in size on an island on Duck Lake, but it has since been declared out.

Two other fires were reported in the Sudbury region - a lightning-caused fire under control at a tenth of a hectare in size on the northeast side of Tank Lake, and a fire not yet under control at two-tenths of a hectare in size, located 300 metres west of Fox Road and one kilometre east of Rat Lake.

The fire hazard's low to moderate for much of the northeast.
