The warm weather is pushing the forest fire hazard in northeastern Ontario up and that has led to a number of new forest fires, including two in the North Bay area.
On Sunday, two new fires were reported including North Bay 5 which is not under control at 0.10 of a hectare.
By Monday afternoon five new fires have been discovered in the North including North Bay 6 which is also not under control at 0.1 of a hectare.
The forest fire hazard is showing low to high, with the areas of most concern situated in the central portion of the region.
