Fire Danger Rating Raised to High in Lake of Bays
The Muskoka Fire Danger Rating has been elevated to HIGH due to increasingly dry conditions and several recent wildland fires in the region. With warm weather and low humidity, the risk of wildfire is serious.
When the fire danger rating is HIGH, extreme caution must be taken with all open flames. Forest fuels are very dry, meaning new fires can start easily, burn aggressively, and challenge fire suppression efforts. Extreme caution must also be used in any forest activities.
