The Mississagi region of Central Ontario lies, roughly, north of the towns of Blind River and Thessalon on the north shore of Lake Huron. In the spring and early summer of 1948, this area was generally swept by a major conflagration that began on May 25 and was finally brought under control on July 23. Officially known as fire No. 9 of the 1948 season in the Sault Ste. Marie District, the blaze covered only one-quarter of an acre when it was discovered, but, because of adverse weather conditions, it was impossible to bring it under control. When, finally, the last ember had been put out, the fire had spread over 27 different townships or 281,388 acres in all.
