There were 20 active fires and five out of control on Wednesday in New Brunswick, according to an update from the province. The province’s fire watch dashboard, however, fluctuates often, depending on the status of the fires at the time. The Beaver Lake Stream fire in Northumberland County is 238 hectares, according to the dashboard, and the Chief’s fire is listed at 218 hectares. The Chief’s fire, in northern New Brunswick, is also listed as a fire of note. A fire of note, according to the government, is one “requiring significant resources or threatening homes or critical infrastructure.” The Oldfield Road fire, which straddles the northern edge of Miramichi, is still listed as a fire of note, despite being contained at 1,403 hectares. …Firefighters and co-ordinators who have been working for weeks have been met with gruelling conditions, and the man leading the strategy on the ground says first responders are tired.
