Ron Miller sends photos of fire closest to town and comments from a bomber pilot who was involved.
This is looking east toward the town and marina. Six bombers worked it to stop it just in time . A bomber pilot said they thought they where going to loose it. Town in the background which is where the fire was headed.
Please see the two documents that have been provided by the Municipality of Temagami Emergency Management Committee regarding the fire situation.

Lake Temagami is now outside the restricted area
Lots of great information is coming in from people all over the Temagami area. Thank you to all those that share and send emails, post on various Facebook pages and get the message out.
The Ontario MNRF website for information on the fires is updated regularly as is the map of restricted areas. There is an excellent summary of the work being done to fight these fires (that has also been shared through posts and emails by others) on the website which can be found HERE.
It has also recently been reported that Camp Keewaydin has been evacuated and campers have been taken to North Bay.
Lake Temagami is now outside the evacuation zone.
7/11 MODIS Aqua pass over Temagami. Satellite fire detector sees large fires north & west of the lake (red blocks). Cloud cover obscures the lake. Route 11/17 in yellow.
