DNR Says Fire Ban Will Continue Until We See Rain

It's not hard to see why the entire province would be under a fire ban after a long period of warm dry weather.
 

Those conditions gave a boost to a series of fires on the weekend especially one forest fire in French Village.
 

Charles Beaulieu of the Department of Natural Resources tells CHSJ News they got a request for assistance so they sent in water bombers from Fredericton
to assist.

He says anytime they get a fire of that nature it's priority number one and they work to suppress fire in the forest while ground crews protect any nearby structures.

Beaulieu says the provincial fire ban will remain in place until we see some precipitation.
