THE CANADIAN PRESS/Cole BurstonThe wildfire situation in northern Ontario is moving in a reassuring direction as more than 80 fires have been extinguished in the past two weeks, Natural Resources Minister Mike Harris said Thursday. He said 159 wildfires are still raging, with 30 burning out of control. Harris characterized this year's wildfire season as unprecedented, but said the tide appears to be turning. "We've had a fire season in the last two weeks like we've never seen before," he said at a press conference.
