Northwest region wildfires largely under control, restrictions lifted

Four forest fires remain active in the Northwest region, though officials say most are now under control.

Crews say three fires near Fort Frances are under control, while a fourth located just north of Ignace is being held.

The Ministry of Natural Resources says there is no longer a threat to public safety, and restrictions in the area were lifted on Tuesday.
