A couple new forest fires have been reported in the region.
As of its Wednesday evening update, Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry listed "Chapleau 10" as a tenth of a hectare in size - located about 13 kilometres west of Foleyet and 1.6 kilometres north-northwest of Wakagami Lake - though it is listed as "being held", while "Wawa 13" was listed as 4-tenths of a hectare in size - located about 13 kilometres east of Negwazu Lake and 18 kilometres north of Highway 519 - and was not yet under control, though aerial support was helping address the Wawa district fire.
Fires were also reported in the Timmins, North Bay, and Parry Sound regions.
The fire hazard is generally high across the northeast, with some areas of moderate hazard.
