The fire covered approximately two acres. Firefighters worked alongside MNRF crews on the first day and then continued suppression and overhaul efforts on their own for the following two days. The fire was fully extinguished, and no structures were threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days later, on October 17, 2025, the department responded to a second wildland fire off Limberlost Road. The fire covered approximately 19 acres in a remote forested area. Crews from Huntsville and Lake of Bays worked for three days to bring the fire under control. No homes or buildings were in the area, and nothing was at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile both fires are now fully extinguished, they serve as a good reminder that wildland fires can still occur well into the fall,\u201d said Steve Markham, Fire Prevention Officer. \u201cEven when temperatures are cooler, dry leaves and vegetation can ignite easily under the right conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department reminds residents that while the fall season brings cooler temperatures, dry conditions can still pose a fire risk. Residents are encouraged to follow all open-air burning regulations and check the Muskoka Fire Danger Rating before burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>From the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a busy week for firefighters with the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department, responding to two separate wildland fires in the area.
