forest fire

Three water bombers were brought in to assist firefighters.

Mainers to the rescue!

With no measurable rain for the first half of July, and temperatures soaring to record highs, the fire danger has been steadily rising.  The New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources today has placed the entire province under a no-burn order.

The forest fire just across the border in Perth-Andover has died down significantly due to the rain. Officials are still worried about the wind picking up and re-igniting the flames.
