there are two active fires burning in algonquin park, according the news,, however when i called the park and  talking to debbie , she only knew of one fire "near the east boundary" according to her. the media is reporting that the  fire is actually near the cascades , opalescent area,,  with the second fire in the south park area? each fire has been burning since the 9th of aug.  with smoke reaching barry`s bay community from the cascades fire!!
     the part that blows me away is that debbie said "no fire ban is in place yet,, but they are working on that"
  what  does that mean?    
  my last check on the "friends of algonquin" fund raising site, indicates 13 low water advisories, with dickson lake and ryan lake and hardy bay still closed  because of blue/green algae ,,, the park access points are shrinking fast, and with 72 hour period of heavy thunder storms predicted maybe more fires will be started by lightning. mean while most of cenral ontario, kawartha highlands park , bancroft, minden, peterborugh county ,i could go on and on, have had fire bans in place for weeks. people could of been placed in great jeopardy .  heads should roll on this non call,  mr. dithers,                      i.m.h.o.
