Wawa District Sees New Wildfire

The Wawa area's seen another forest fire.

Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources says "Wawa 2" was reported Monday, located about half a kilometre west of Highway 17 and about 7 kilometres northeast of Pokei Lake - it's not yet under control at six hectares in size, though two FireRanger crews have been assigned with two CL-415 waterbombers and a lead birddog aircraft performing aerial fire suppression Monday afternoon.

The fire hazard's primarily high across the Northeast.
