The Paddy’s Pond fire near St. John’s that has been burning out of control for a week is now being held. That’s freeing up resources to help fight other out of control wildfires in Newfoundland and Labrador, says the provincial fire duty officer. “We’re making some great progress there with [it] being held,” Bryan Oke told CBC Radio’s The St. John’s Morning Show. “It primarily means the boundaries are being maintained and crews continue to identify and work any hot spots throughout the day.” Oke said the fire is still 318 hectares. Progress fighting the Paddy’s Pond fire has been made in the past few days, with aerial support being pulled and redirected to other out of control wildfires. … The Kingston and Martin Lake fires continue to burn out of control.
