Officials are looking for the culprit who started a forest fire near Hadashville.  Fire Program Manager Tom Mirus says an old brush pile lit up on an abandoned farm burning over 150 hectares.  If it's found to be arson they'll lay charges and let the courts decide how big the fine should be.  He feels it could go up to $10,000 or even higher.  The good news is the fire did not threaten any homes.  And Mirus is quick to say they've been getting good cooperation from most people in Manitoba.
