Wildfires Still Active in Northwestern Ontario | Calgary News

Northwestern Ontario is still reeling from a wildfire crisis with 145 active fires—41 still out of control—with the massive Thunder Bay 36 blaze covering over 318,000 hectares. Evacuations remain in place near key fires, but recent rain has given crews a crucial window to fight back using ground teams, helicopters, and night-time infrared scans to spot hidden hotspots. Fire danger is rising again in Fort Frances, Kenora, Red Lake, and Sioux Lookout, especially with lightning risks. Over 2,800 people have been evacuated and are being supported across eight communities with essentials like air purifiers and food. Thunder Bay has shifted to monitoring mode, calling for continued caution as fires remain active and alerts stay in place.
