Four new wildfires were spotted Thursday in Northwestern Ontario.

That brings the total active fires to 18.

Six are out of control, one is being held, and eight are under control.

Two have been put out in the last 24 hours.

Red Lake 12 was remapped to about 66,000 hectares, a much smaller increase than the day before.

Kenora 20 is still out of control at just over 36,000 hectares. But it has not grown since Tuesday.
