The Sudbury area has a pair of significant forest fires including Sudbury 35, which is situated north of Hagar, measures 85 hectares and is not under control. FireRangers are working collaboratively with the Markstay-Warren Fire Department to suppress the fire, values protection is underway. There is no current imminent threat to any structures at this time, and there have been no structures lost. The MNRF asks that the public use caution if travelling in the area because fire crews and vehicles are on the scene and require room to manoeuvre.
Meantime Sudbury 33 is located north of Lively. Waterbombers were on the scene Monday to suppress the fire which covers 10 hectares. Although the fire is currently listed as not under control, 3 ground crews have been on scene today and there are no further issues currently anticipated with this fire. Residents in the area will notice smoke as FireRangers continue to extinguish the fire.
The current forest fire hazard ranges from low to extreme across the Northeast with an extreme hazard in Greater Sudbury and surrounding areas, as well as in the eastern portion of the province.
