From 705Blackfly.com:

On Monday, May 15th, shortly after 1:00 PM, Kearney Fire and Emergency Services were called out to a large brush fire.

Upon arrival, it was quickly assessed at approximately five acres of burning forest. Automatic aid was activated and fire departments from Perry, Sprucedale Magnetawan, and Burks Falls also responded. After two hours the fire crews had the fire under control and managed to contain it from spreading over the road despite the high winds. While crews continued working on the initial fire command were notified by a neighbor there was another fire on the opposite side. Upon investigation, the fire had “jumped” 400 meters in the other direction. Another section of approximately two acres was on fire.
