Wildfire in Richmond County, N.S., remains out of control
The fire that started around 5 p.m. near Three Rivers Road in Framboise has grown over 15 hectares and has crossed at least one roadway. A 20-year-old vacant trailer in the area also burned down.
Multiple volunteer fire departments arrived on site Thursday evening, but as of last night, no containment of the fire was achieved.
There have been no evacuation orders at this time, but the municipality warns residents to remain alert. One residence has been soaked down as a precaution.
The Department of Natural Resources ground crew is expected to resume operations Friday morning.
Richmond County officials remind residents to monitor official emergency channels for updates, follow all instructions from emergency services and if emergency assistance is required to call 9-1-1.
