Fire crews are continuing to battle two wildfires that forced some residents of Labrador West to evacuate. Newfoundland and Labrador’s Department of Forestry, Agriculture and Lands said in a Monday night social media post that water bombers made “significant progress” on wildfires in the Walsh River area west of Labrador and the De Mille Lake area east of Wabush. Around 120 residents were evacuated from their homes and cabins on Monday afternoon. The Town of Labrador City said that the evacuation order remains in place as fire suppression efforts continue. Labrador City Mayor Jordan Brown said on Tuesday morning that the fire was between eight and nine kilometres from the town, and that the region is blanketed in a thick smoke. …An incident management team will be on the ground in Labrador West on Tuesday to help fire crews, the department said. Forestry officials will reassess conditions on Tuesday evening.
