Timmins and Kirkland Lake fires

Those pics are from the one fire burning within the city limits at the city's East end between Schumacher and South Porcupine. The real big fire, now the largest out of control fire in Ontario is located about 40 km South-West of the city and is apparently heading in a north-easterly direction towards Kenogamissi Lake. It would have to jump Hwy 144 to get there. Cottagers and campers at several other lakes were also made to leave. My cousin and his wife who live year-round just outside of the Mattagami First Nation on Mattagami Lake near Gogama were put on notice of possible evacuation to-day by the reserve police. They are about 20 km to the South-East of the fire and if the wind shifts to come from the West- NorthWest, it could get bad for them. This fire has travelled very fast and very far since it was first detected on Sunday. At one point it was probably near "fire-storm" status.
