As of Sunday morning the Ministry of Natural Resources/Forestry reported 11 new active fires in the North Bay region.
Due to the extreme fire hazard, several recent periods of heavy lightning and the large number of wildfires burning, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has implemented a Restricted Fire Zone in some areas of Northeastern Ontario including North Bay.
