Does anyone have first hand knowledge regarding the fire ban in Ontario, particularly the Northwestern section (100 mi North of Red Lake)?

The fire ban is still ongoing. It's very dry up there right now.
The fire bas was lifted a couple days ago.
Heres a link....

There is so way the fire ban should have been lifted. The ground is still dry enough to show cracks in a lot of areas. Use EXTREME caution and use any other method possibly than an open fire.
Just because a government department allows it, doesn't mean it should be.
The ban was lifted because "average rainfall in the district" was adequate accoring to their table of stats.
