Low to moderate fire hazard

Rainfall over the weekend in much of Northwestern Ontario has helped ease the forest fire hazard.  Ministry of Natural Resources Information Officer Debbie McLean says the current hazard is listed as low to moderate. McLean adds the forest fire hazard still remains high in the Quetico Park area where three fires are still burning.
Meanwhile, 100 fire crews from B.C. are staying in Thunder Bay before flying out to help battle blazes burning in Northeastern Ontario.
