While there are no new fires burning this week so far, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is dealing with 12 active fires in the northeast.
Eleven of those 12 fires are located in the far north and are being observed, rather than battled at the moment, as fire does provide ecological benefits to forests.
A fire near Kirkland Lake is under control at four hectares.
The forest fire hazard ranges from low to extreme, with the areas of most concern located in the north of the region.
