A couple new wildfires were seen in the Wawa and Chapleau districts in recent days - but are all now out.
Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources says "Wawa 29" was reported Friday - about a kilometre northwest of Oganek Lake and nearly 4 kilometres northeast of Highway 17 - "Wawa 30" was reported Saturday evening - on a peninsula on the west side of Manitowik Lake, more than 3 kilometres southwest of Swanson Lake - and "Chapleau 20" was also reported Saturday evening - on Windermere Lake, less than 2 kilometres south of Henna Lake, and 11 kilometres north of Highway 101 - though all three are now out, leaving just 1 fire still burning in either region: "Wawa 15", which is "being held" at 7 hectares in size, on the eastern shore of Lake Superior in Lake Superior Provincial Park, about a kilometre south of Laughing Brook Creek - it was first reported nearly a month ago.
The fire hazard's mostly moderate across the North, with pockets of low and high hazard.
