Another forest fire's been reported in the Timmins District.
Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources is reporting Timmins 16 was confirmed Thursday, east of Highway 144 and south of Highway 560 - it's not yet under control at 3 hectares in size, though two Ontario FireRanger crews are responding and aerial fire suppression teams "actioned" the wildland fire.
The Wawa and Chapleau areas both reported fires on Canada Day: Wawa 4 is not yet under control at 8 hectares in size, located east of Hillsport and south of White Otter Lake; while Chapleau 8 was located about 27 kilometres south of town, but was declared out before growing beyond a tenth of a hectare in size.
The fire hazard is primarily moderate to high across the Northeast, with a large patch of extreme near James Bay and low further southeast.
