A second fire in Kavarth lakes, which requires the use of an airwater bomber, has jumped into shape, but officials say there is some optimism because they are reporting that firefighters are progressing on the fire.
During a media briefing on Tuesday morning, Provincial and Municipal officials said that a grass fire of a grass dubbed a grass fire increased from five hectares to 33.5 hectares on Monday on Monday.
Mayor of Kavartha Lakes Doug Elmsley said that it is believed that it has spread through the ground level and potential air, but it is not clear what is the reason for this.
An Ontario was brought to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Ariel Water Bomber on Monday to try to assist the ground crew in extinguishing it.
Police officials set fire to a road on a road on a road on the part of the Prospect Road, in which the firefighters were allowed to water the truck at the scene.
The fire develops when the crew is still working to extinguish the Haliburton 19, which is in the north of 27-hectare fire and Bobkegon in a forest area east of the Burn River.
A MNR spokesperson said that firefighting is capable of catching the fire range and preventing it from spreading further, but is still not under control.
Elmsley said the remaining winter ice storm damage has complicated the response efforts.
He said, “That forest is so thick and with debris on the ground, they cannot actively access it. It is very difficult for them. He said they cannot go,” he told reporters.
Despite the ongoing fire response efforts, Elmsley said there was no idea of implementing any withdrawal order in response to the fire. However, he repeated the fire, a good reminder for people to be ready for a 72 -hour emergency kit.
Meanwhile, there is also good news about two other fire in the region. Heliberton 17 was excluded and Heliberton is under 16 hectare at 4.5 hectares.
Total fire restrictions in Kavratha lakes due to dry conditions
Elmsley used Tuesday’s media briefing, which has a place in the municipality of Kavartha lakes to ban total fire.
He said, “This is very disappointing in some ways because our crew are working during the day and certainly standing at night because someone has ignored the ban,” he said, he said, they have not been issued a specific number of fine. “
“I have been told by our fire service service that there will be zero tolerance.”
MNR officials said Kavarth lakes are either a high or extreme Forest fire danger rating Due to the spread of flames.
There are many other local courts in Ontario Similar restrictions were recently imposedCiting similar fire risks. However, MNR officials denied a province-wide ban as they cited the current firefighting capacity and forecast for the coming weeks.
Environment and climate change Canadian meteorologist Crawford Luke said that the area of Kavrath lakes has been “hot and drought like southern Ontario”, and because it is away from great lakes, which means low humidity combines the problem.
He told Citynuse on Monday, “Haliburton, Peterbaro, Hastings, many of these areas are basically half -rain, which will usually see back dating back in July, and so far many of these areas have not really rained in this month.”
“Surely this current stretch where it is two, three weeks without rain have actually increased the situation.”
There was a glimpse of hope with the weather. Luke said that the temperature on the upcoming cold front will be slightly reduced on Tuesday and will potentially bring some rainfall. He said that there will be the next chance of rain in the weekend.
