Oliver Paipoonge Imposes Fire Ban Across Municipality
Oliver Paipoonge has enacted a fire ban effective Friday morning forbidding all burning and suspending existing permits. Nearby townships Conmee Gillies Neebing and O angle have issued similar bans, while Thunder Bay and Shamiah may follow. Fire ban violators face fines, and officials note regionwide elevated hazard with no restricted fire zone in effect. A wildfire about 60 kilometres northwest of Kenora remains not under control, attracting waterbombers as 32 fires have burned under three square kilometres this season, well below the 10 year average.
