The West Dalhousie / Long Lake wildfire is still “Being held” at an estimated 8,468 hectares.
There continues to be no new reports of damage.
More people whose properties are outside the active wildfire zone will be able to return home tomorrow.
Other evacuated areas still too unsafe to return to.
Crews on site have completed a fire break inside the active wildfire zone at the southern end to help stop fire spreading in the interior.
Dry conditions continue, making the fire burn deeper. Crews have been spending time digging to find where it is burning underground and extinguish these spots.
Resources available today include 5 helicopters, 4 planes and a bird dog, 2 pieces of heavy equipment and 7 water tankers. Firefighters on site: 50 DNR, 20 Quebec, plus support staff.
