Firefighters from three Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue Service (KLFRS) stations are actively battling the blaze, supported by the Trent Lakes Fire Service and multiple Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) teams from the Haliburton detachment. A total fire ban is also in effect across the City of Kawartha Lakes. Last week, air quality monitoring company IQAir found that the city experienced some of the worst air quality among major global cities. While the smoke has somewhat eased, Environment Canada is still reporting Toronto's air quality at a level 4 from Monday through Tuesday night. The agency warns that the weather conditions could bring deteriorating air quality, pushing it toward the high-risk category.
