Current Situation

Situation Summary

(Update Aug. 22 | 4:40 p.m.) - The 1,102 acres of growth from when the fire was last mapped on Thursday night can be attributed to the fire backing to strategic fuel breaks and historical control lines. There has been no new threat to structures on Friday. Both air and ground resources continue to make an aggressive and effective attack on this fire and progress is being made on its containment.
The incident has been well supported with resources continuing to surge into the area. We anticipate more resources to arrive later in the day Friday.
The North Bay All-Hazard Incident Management Team has been activated to assist with operations on this fire. Evacuation Warnings and Orders remain in place.
