Several wildfires were seen in the Red Rock Lake area but are all now out.
Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources is reporting thirteen new wildland fires were confirmed in the Northeast on Wednesday, including six in the Chapleau District, all of which were located along Melwel Road near Red Rock Lake and Basswood Lake - they've all been declared out, after growing no more than two-tenths of a hectare in size.
Six other blazes were reported in the Sudbury District and one in the Cochrane District, leaving more than 40 active across the Northeast, including two in the Wawa District: a 7-hectare blaze on the eastern shore of Lake Superior in Lake Superior Provincial Park - about a kilometre south of Laughing Brook Creek - and a 0.1 hectare fire, about 17 kilometres northeast of Missanabie - west of Missinaibi Provincial Park - both of which are being held.
The fire hazard's mostly moderate to high across the North, with some pockets of low and even extreme hazard near Sudbury.
