There has been no significant change since this morning. The fire remains estimated at 1,386 hectares and is still out of control. 

Fire suppression efforts continue with two Department of Natural Resources (DNR) helicopters, four DNR fixed-wing water bombers, two fixed-wing water bombers from Newfoundland, ground crews and heavy equipment.

Mooseland Road remains closed beginning at the intersection of Highway 7 and Mooseland Road. Please continue to avoid the area and stay clear of emergency crews.

This will be the last post for today unless there is a significant change to the fire.
