Seven wildfires continued burning in Labrador on Monday, as meteorologists warned of extra pressure coming from intense heat in Atlantic Canada. Four fires are out of control and three are being held. The Menihek Dam fire — 160 kilometres north of Labrador City — more than tripled in size Sunday. Laurie Holloway, the provincial duty officer for wildfire response, said early Monday morning the Menihek Dam fire was estimated to be about 300 hectares as of Sunday. An air tanker was on site and another one had been asked to assist, she added. By 10:30 a.m. Monday, the fire had grown to 1,039 hectares, with its status updated to being held, with a water bomber dispatched from Happy Valley-Goose Bay. …This week, a heat dome will settle over Atlantic Canada, according to CBC Newfoundland and Labrador meteorologist Ashley Brauweiler. Brauweiler said the heat isn’t good for Labrador’s fire situation in Labrador but it won’t be prolonged.
