Ontario seeing more forest fires amid unprecedented season across Canada
As of Monday afternoon, there were 31 active wildland fires burning across the northeast. Twenty-one remain out of control, four are being held, one is being observed, and four are under control.
Near Centennial Lake, residents have had to contend with the fire known as Pembroke 1. It started on Sunday and has grown quickly in size. It is now listed at roughly 50 hectares and out of control.“We do have some fire ranger crews that are working closely with the fire department on scene in that area, and the Township of Greater Madawaska, and the OPP,” said McCool.
Canada currently has partnerships with countries such as Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. Calls for reinforcements have already been answered by the international community.
