North Bay ready to assist if needed in Temagami – Mayor

The MNRF say they’ve not evacuated roughly 20 homes due to a dangerously close active forest fire near Temagami, North of North Bay and south of Iroquois Falls. At last estimated the blaze known as North Bay 62 measured 200-hectares in size and was 12-kilometres east of River Valley. Finlayson Point Provincial Park Road and Martin River have both been evacuated.  Meanwhile the City of North Bay has activated its emergency management plan, ready to assist if called upon.

North Bay Mayor Al MacDonald spoke to us and says no such request has yet come in.
