Last Forest Fire Officially Out

The last remaining forest fire in northwestern Ontario is now out.

Fort Frances 24 was declared out yesterday.

The lightning-caused fire near Russell Lake in Quetico Provincial Park broke out on July 29th.

It eventually grew to 2,800 hectares before burning itself out.

In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
