Wildfire crews battling the blaze near Fort Liard are getting some help from around the NWT as they try to bring it under control. Monday’s update from NWT Fire showed that the wildfire measured 913 hectares and still sat 19 km southwest of the community. Winds out of the southwest were expected today, gusting up to 25 km/h, but the problem now is moisture in the air drying up. Mike Westwick, information officer for FS002 stated that the winds are calm enough for crews to be able to continue to make good progress on beating back the flames. …The job on Monday was to limit the fire’s growth on the west side of the Liard River in order to prevent it from crossing to the east, while getting structure protections in place in the community. There is still no structure loss as a result of this fire, Westwick added.
