Kingston fire now 10,708 hectares
Latest updates: Off-road vehicle ban extended to 11:59 p.m. NT on Wednesday. Kingston fire is 10,708 hectares. Paddy's Pond Fire is 318 hectares. Martin Lake fire is 1,770 hectares. The Kingston wildfire burning out of control on Newfoundland's Conception Bay North is now more than 10,000 hectares in size. Provincial fire duty officer Bryan Oke said the Kingston fire remains active, primarily along its western and southwestern edges. "There was a slight increase in size. It's now at 10,708 hectares. That's primarily due to more accurate mapping," Oke told CBC Radio's The St. John's Morning Show. Oke says he anticipates after a low cloud ceiling lifts, they will be able to get aerial support moving to fight the fire. He added Monday was a great day fighting the Kingston fire, with multiple missions being carried out as well as work on structure protection and putting out hot spots. "We're starting to see multiple days with continuous improvement, which is great," said Oke. He said the Paddy's Pond fire has had no change in size but there's a lot of heat in the ground. He added the perimeter containment is almost complete and the fire is mostly surrounded with hoses and sprinklers. In central, he said they will continue work on structure protection and putting out hot spots at the Martin Lake fire. Oke also anticipates cooler, wet weather will help firefighting efforts. "The cooler temperatures and rain supports fire suppression activities throughout the province here today." He said aerial missions are planned for the Kingston fire, and the Martin Lake fire will have helicopters and ground crews on site. "So we're hopeful it's going to be a productive day," said Oke. Premier John Hogan is giving a wildfire update at 10:15 a.m. NT. According to the provincial fire hazard map, as of Tuesday morning, the only areas in the province considered to be at an extreme risk of fire are portions of the Bonavista Peninsula as well as the Trinity Bay area. The rest of the island of Newfoundland ranges from a low to very high risk of fire, whereas in Labrador the risk ranges from a low to high fire risk. As of Monday evening, evacuation orders remain in effect for Small Point–Broad Cove–Blackhead–Adam's Cove, Salmon Cove, Western Bay, Kingston, Perry's Cove, Ochre Pit Cove and Burnt Point-Gull Island-Northern Bay. Evacuation alerts, where residents are advised to be ready to leave, are in effect for Victoria, Job's Cove and Freshwater. A regional state of emergency is in place for a portion of the Bay de Verde Peninsula, from Bristol's Hope to Whiteway. Access to cabin areas in Rushy Pond Road, Martin Lake Road and Miguels Lake Road are closed and the area is under an evacuation advisory. The off-road vehicle restriction remains in place for forested areas where fire index is high, very high or extreme. It will be in place until 11:59 p.m. NT on Wednesday, when it will be reviewed based on fire conditions. Off-road vehicles include ATVs, quads, side-by-sides and dirt bikes. Fines for breaching the provincewide fire ban also remain in place. Rain, cooler temperatures Meteorologist Haley Wigmore says the northeast Avalon Peninsula and Bonavista region will have showers throughout Tuesday and overnight, dropping between 10 to 15 millimetres of rain. Temperatures will be in the mid-teens. She added the south coast is getting showers, which will taper off and conditions will remain cloudy overnight. Environment Canada has issued a special air quality statement for St. John's and the surrounding area due to smoke from the Kingston fire. An air quality warning is in effect for the north Avalon Peninsula.

Clouds Tuesday with a possibility of showers in Ottawa
A cloudy downtown Ottawa is seen in this file image. (CTV News Ottawa) There is a chance for much-needed precipitation in the forecast Tuesday evening, but it's unclear whether it will be a significant amount. Environment Canada's forecast for Ottawa calls for a high of 24 C Tuesday with a mix of sun and cloud in the morning. More clouds are expected to move in by the afternoon, bringing a 60 per cent chance of showers in the evening and overnight. The overnight low is 14 C. These temperatures are right in line with seasonal norms. Ottawa remains dry, with just over 20 millimetres of rain recorded in the last three and a half weeks. The dry conditions have prompted an outdoor fire ban, and Ottawa Fire Services have warned of the risks of carelessly discarded smoking materials after several recent fires. There is a 40 per cent chance of showers in the forecast Wednesday with a high of 21 C and a humidex of 25. Thursday's outlook is mostly sunny with a high of 27 C, and Friday could see sunshine with a few clouds and a high of 28 C.

Wildfires threaten Kawartha Lakes area, a summer sanctuary for Toronto cottagers
After swimming with his family at Sandy Beach in the Ontario town of Buckhorn on the weekend, Patrick Porzuczek was driving north when the sky overhead began to rumble. A plane was targeting a wildfire, named HAL019, near Burnt River in Kawartha Lakes, about two hours north of Toronto in Ontario's cottage country. 'All of a sudden, we had a very large water bomber going along the highway in the same direction we were, dropping water,' he said. 'My kids were like, 'Oh my gosh, Dad, look at that.'' The next day, nearby roads were closed as firefighters and aerial support, scooping more than 6,000 litres at a time from nearby Four Mile Lake, worked to control the blaze. 'It was a relief seeing how fast these bombers can get on this and start attacking the fire to save homes and livestock,' said Mr. Porzuczek, a former firefighter with 12 years' experience, who shared updates on social media as he tracked the fire's status. But the relief didn't last. By Sunday, HAL019 had surged from five hectares to 27 hectares. It is now one of four significant fires that broke out in the Kawartha Lakes region in the past week, and has been classified as 'being held,' which means authorities believe it is unlikely to spread. Another, near the village of Kirkfield, has burned more than 33 hectares since Monday and remains not under control, the only fire left in the area with that designation. The region is largely rural, with farms dotting the landscape, and a steady stream of cottagers throughout the summer. A total fire ban remains in place across the Kawartha Lakes. Spotty showers and cooler overnights this week have brought some relief, but extreme dry conditions and debris from a large ice storm in March continue to feed the flames, and lightning has added the risk of new fires. So far, there haven't been any evacuation orders but the wildfires have left residents and cottagers on edge. The situation in Kawartha Lakes is unfolding amid a severe fire season in several areas of the country, with notable blazes in central and Eastern Canada currently threatening homes and communities. About 7.5-million hectares have burned across Canada this year, more than double the 10-year average and making 2025 the second-worst fire season on record. In neighbouring Trent Lakes, which is east of the Burnt River fire, boat traffic through the Trent–Severn Waterway locks and in tourist hot spots like Buckhorn hasn't slowed, though locals remain wary. Where in Canada are there wildfire smoke warnings? Our map tracks air quality across the country Judy McWhirter, general manager of the Buckhorn Community Centre, is preparing for this weekend's Festival of the Arts, which draws more than 2,000 visitors over two days. She's never experienced fires this close. 'This is all new … but we'll be out of here on a moment's notice if need be,' she said, adding that she doesn't expect traffic to be affected by the fires, though the heat could slow things down. At the Trent Lakes fire station, Chief Steve Brockbank said Buckhorn is on standby to assist, having already helped last weekend. He's quick to add, though, that the Kawartha Lakes firefighters, headquartered in Bobcaygeon, are the ones 'eating and sleeping and breathing it.' 'We're here on notice for them, if there's anything they need. We're getting two daily briefings from them.' With residents on high alert, he said everyone has been compliant with the current ban on fires – calling it the easiest burn ban he has had to implement. On Wednesday in Bobcaygeon, southeast of the Burnt River fire, a familiar summer scene played out downtown despite the nearby blaze: boats passed through the lock, children watched with ice-cream cones in hand, and a U.S. boat crew detailed their travels along the Trent-Severn waterway, the river system that cuts through the region. On the main strip, Eva Touchburn, a member of the Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society, tended flowers. She lives about 15 kilometres from the Burnt River fire. 'It's kind of scary thinking it's that close. We're on about two acres of bush.' She only became aware of the fire when a neighbour's daughter in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., called, worried about the safety of their horses. 'That's the only way we knew.' Soon, calls and texts arrived from across Canada and beyond, asking how they were holding up. Favourable winds have moved the fire away from her home, but the debris, leftover from the March ice storm, remains a worry. 'That's another scary part, knowing that's what's catching. They can't get into it because of all that stuff down.' Further west in the village of Fenelon Falls, Nicole Mitchell, director of finance and administration of the Grove Theatre, was selling tickets for a country concert to benefit a Kirkfield-area charity. She said attendance hasn't changed yet, but the outdoor amphitheatre is vulnerable. 'It's wood, surrounded by trees, which is surrounded by grass. I think there's definitely a sense of impending doom with our wooden amphitheatre.' And while rain cancelled shows last year, the heat has already shut down two in 2025, the only year that has ever happened, she said. Ms. Mitchell tracks updates about the fires via Facebook, which she said is a key tool in a town with one of Ontario's highest proportion of seniors. Meanwhile, Mr. Porzuczek, the former firefighter, has kept posting updates of his own online. With firefighters making progress, he said residents remain alert, the summer's dry conditions providing a constant reminder of the risk. Between the ice-storm damage, once-green lawns now brown and crunching underfoot and withered leaves on birch and poplar trees, the signs are hard to miss. 'The leaves are turning yellow because it's so dry. It feels like autumn in August.' And with more extreme events likely, he said people are paying attention. 'It just shows how the environment is changing and how dry everything is. There's a lot of debris and dead trees in the forest that are going to feed these fires. 'And unfortunately, with the way things are changing with global warming, there's going to be more.'
