    Lac Des Mille Lacs\/Upsala area (Wildland Fire Fort Frances 14)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Presently the FOR 014 fire is sized at 55,106 hectares and is not under control.<\/li>\n
    • The northern perimeter of FOR 014 is estimated to be approximately 5 kilometres southwest of the Trans-Canada Hwy. at its closest point.<\/li>\n
    • The southern perimeter of FOR 14 extends as far south as Fork Lake, approximately 6 kilometres north of Hwy. 11.<\/li>\n
    • Both fires exhibited significantly less growth overnight than in previous days. Cloud cover supporting higher relative humidity and lower wind speeds have temporarily reduced fire behaviour, though fire hazard conditions remain high in the area.<\/li>\n
    • Poor visibility, due to smoke is limiting flight operations in the fire area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
