A few more forest fires were reported in the region over the weekend.
Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources says "Wawa 2" was reported Friday - along Highway 17, east of Rous Lake - but was called out before growing beyond two-tenths of a hectare in size, while "Chapleau 3" was reported Saturday, about 700 metres east of Argo Lake and 2 kilometres south of Dog Lake - it's now reported as "under control" at 3 hectares in size - and "Chapleau 4" was reported late Sunday, about 3 kilometres south of Sand Bay and west of 4 Seasons Road, though it was called out before growing beyond a tenth of a hectare in size.
Wildfires were also reported in the Timmins and Sudbury regions in recent days, with most called out since.
The fire hazard is mostly high or extreme across the North, with some areas of moderate hazard near James Bay and the Quebec border.
