A few more forest fires have been confirmed in Northeastern Ontario - including one in the region.
Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources says "Timmins 1" is a 15-hectare blaze confirmed Tuesday, 3.5 kilometres north of Gogama - it is not yet under control, but three crews have responded with air attack operations underway.
Two other fires were confirmed in the Sudbury district, leaving six active wildland fires in the Northeast, including "Chapleau 2", which is under control at 4.3 hectares in size - it was reported Monday, near the northern edge of Woman River Forest Provincial Park, about 12 kilometres west of Wakami Lake.
The fire hazard is high to extreme across the Northeast, with areas of moderate hazard south of Espanola.
