As of early Friday morning, nine wildfires were listed as out of control on New Brunswick’s fire watch dashboard.
Meanwhile, the province’s largest wildfire is entering its tenth day, still listed at 1,358 hectares.
The province has said because of high traffic volumes, the dashboard may be slow or take a while to load.
The out-of-control fires are all in the northeastern part of the province. They are being referred to on the dashboard as 9 Mile, Chief’s, Moose Brook, Smoker Brook, Pats Brook, Baisley Road, Park Road, Green Brook and then the long-standing Oldfield Road.
The largest fire after Oldfield Road is Chief’s, which is further west than the rest of the out-of-control fires. It is listed as 25 hectares.
Smoke plumes are seen on Thursday at the Oldfield Road fire. A special air quality statement from Environment Canada is in place for Miramichi. » Read More
