Mostly cool day yesterday with no rain. No smoke in town this morning. The slight haze yesterday morning didn't last long. With rain and lower temps in the short term forecast, the fire hazard risk should lessen significantly.

Most of the new fires yesterday started in the very NE corner of the province.
