Today is day four, that Aylesford & District Firefighters have been on scene working to put out two seperate wildfires in Lake Paul along side Department of Natural Resources.
Over the course of the operation, helicopters, water bombers from New Brunswick, Public Safety Field Communications & Conservation have been assisting in these extremely remote locations.
Many DNR Staff have been pulled from this fire to assist with the ongoing efforts in West Dalhousie.

Radio communications were poor initially but thanks to comms staff, smooth sailing here on out, while also providing coverage for getting messages in and out with 0 cellphone reception without boosters.
They’ve been grateful for assistance from Berwick, Kingston, Springfield & Waterville Fire over the past few days and additional firefighters from other Kings County departments will be assisting with efforts all day today approximately 8-13kms back on the fire roads.
This work is extremely tasking, hard on the body, which makes for some long and exhausting days far into the woods.
Thank you to all those VOLUNTEER firefighters who continue to help DNR extinguish these fires while other pressing fires are ongoing.
