The states of emergency that were issued for Grand Falls-Windsor, Bishop’s Falls, the Connaigre Peninsula and Botwood ended over the weekend and the Minister of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture says that is a great relief.
There are numerous hot spots that need to be dealt with, says Bragg, but there are no longer any live flames. He says waterbombers are still being used when needed, but two waterbombers and a Birddog aircraft are being returned to Quebec today. He says 20 personnel are moving in from Nova Scotia to assist with work on the ground.
Some forestry resource roads have reopened, but not those closest to the hot spots. Six or seven cabins were destroyed, Bragg says the department has reached out to those cabin owners.
