The Chapleau area's seen its first forest fires of the season.
Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources says "Chapleau 1" was reported Saturday, located west of Highway 129 at Chub Lake - it was half a hectare in size at the time but already under control and has since been declared out - with a second wildland fire reported in that region later that day, called out before growing beyond a tenth of a hectare in size.
The Wawa district already saw its first fire of the season, over the Victoria Day weekend, though it was also called out before growing beyond a tenth of a hectare in size.
The fire hazard is primarily low to moderate across the North.
