Less smoke is drifting over Northwestern Ontario from the prairies.

By Monday evening, eight new fires were spotted in the Northwest region.

In total, 53 fire are actively burning, with 11 out of control and eight under control, while two fires are being held at their current size, and officials are keeping their eyes on 32 others.
