Current Fire Information

West Fire Region Update

One new fire was reported in the Kenora district on Tuesday, May 19th. FireRanger's from the Kenora Fire Management Headquarters responded to extinguish the blaze.

Three fires were reported in northwestern Ontario over the Victoria Day long weekend. All the fires were small and successfully contained by fire fighters. However, all of these fires could have been prevented as they were the result of human carelessness with fire.

Always use caution with outdoor fires and follow safe burning guidelines.  Remember to choose a safe site, keep your fire small and never leave it unattended. If it's windy - don't burn! Ensure the fire is put dead out before leaving the site. If you live in a Municipality, check local bylaws for any burning restrictions that may apply. For more information visit rules and laws.
