Evacuation alert issued for Musgrave Harbour, N.L.
Crews are currently monitoring the fire, which is located southwest of the town, near Pine Pond.
The Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture says residents should prepare for a possible evacuation should the fire spread toward the town.
Water bombers and a helicopter will be working on the fire today.
Meanwhile the air quality warning on the Bonavista peninsula due to the fire near Chance Harbour has been lifted.
As of Saturday, that fire had grown to over 1,660 hectares and was still considered out of control.
Provincial Fire Duty Officer Wesley Morgan says the wind has been helping keep the fire away from the nearby towns of Jamestown and Winter Brook.
However it is still very much considered an active fire.
