New Osnaburgh Fire grows in size

The forest fire burning 9-kilometres away from New Osnaburgh First Nation has grown in size.  The blaze is now over 78-thousand hectares in size and is not under control.  However, crews are doing a good job keeping it away from the community.  There were 4-new fires in the District yesterday.  There are 17-active fires, 4 of which are not under control.
