LAKE GEORGE, KINGS COUNTY, SEPTEMBER 29, 11:15 PM
Windy conditions are causing the Lake George wildfire to grow. An accurate estimate is difficult given the amount of smoke – the rough estimate is 300 hectares. It is moving from the northern end of Lake George eastward toward the northern end of Aylesford Lake.
Further evacuations were ordered by the Municipality of Kings County. There were 17 Department of Natural Resources (DNR) firefighters working with the local fire department this evening, supported by 4 NWT 802 and 2 Quebec 415 aircraft. All are returning at first light with heavy equipment to build fire breaks. The fire will be monitored overnight. Next update tomorrow morning
