Four major fires broke out in the region in the past week. Spotty showers and cooler overnights have brought some relief, but dry conditions persist

Kawartha Lakes officials say two wildfires continue to blaze in Ontario’s cottage country as the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources reports no changes to the status of the active fires.

Officials say that the two active fires in Kawartha Lakes have now been contained. The Burnt River area fire and the Kirkfield area fire have been contained, now classified as being held, and are unlikely to spread under the current or forecasted weather conditions, the Ministry of Natural Resources said in the city's daily fire update.
