Water Bombers Deployed Monday Evening

Water Bombers were activated last night to contain a small wildfire across the Burntwood River west of Thompson.

 

Residents noticed the Bombers fly over the city Monday evening, as they were coming back from putting out a wildfire in Gillam. The Bombers were then notified of the fire by the River and decided to aid the water bombers that were already there from Paint Lake.

 

The size of the fire was approximately point three hectares, says Regional Field Supervisor Tim Cameron who points to the storm and lightning from last Friday night, for the cause of the blaze. The spot where the fire took place is still being monitored to make sure there is no possibility of relighting.
