Forest Fires

Forest fires have fast become a very common and dangerous occurrence in Ontario. In order to keep travelers informed of where new fires have occurred in Ontario (and Canada) and information on current fire-related conditions, I have created this section. Special Thanks to Rod Suddaby of the Northern Forestry Centre of the Canadian Forest Service for the help in finding this information.
