More progress has been made on a couple forest fires in the region.
Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is now showing the 3916 hectare "Chapleau 3" fire - located two kilometres south of October Lake and 2.5 kilometres west of Vichaw Lake - and the 1229 hectare "Chapleau 6" fire - located 2.5 kilometres west of Morin Lake and one kilometre east of Bolkow Lake - are now considered "under control" - neither fire has grown in about four weeks, and were reclassified as "being held" last week, with access and travel restrictions around "Chapleau 3" lifted last Wednesday.
As of Monday night, there were 32 active wildland fires in the Northeast - only one considered "not under control" - with 56 active in the Northwest - six "not under control" - while the fire hazard's mainly moderate to high across the North.
The Restricted Fire Zone banning open air burning - and suspending burning permits - remains in place for the entire fire region of Ontario, with no indication when it'll lift.
