Forest Fire In French Village

A large forest fire is raging in the French Village and spreading in the direction of a residential area. 

Lieutenant Shawn White of the Kennebacasis Valley Fire Department tells us that they received a call mid-afternoon about a forest fire originating around the village's Petro-Canada. 

White says that people living in the village should be aware that there will be low-flying planes in the sky. Because the flames jumped the road and the fire is now in more than one spot, they're bringing in water bombers to help control the blaze. If you think the fire is coming too close to your home, he says you should call 911.
