Manitoba Wildfire Services completed their analysis of infrared scanning on Fires 50, 61 and 62.

On yesterday’s wildfire update, Mayor Colleen Smook said the three fires are now referred to as the Thompson Complex.

Smook shares some of what the analysis shows.

“The data identified multiple hot spots of concern around Fire 61, which is our fire, including areas in the middle and southwest corner of the western flank as well as along the southern and eastern edges of the fire.”  

Smook said that in consultation with the Thompson Complex incident team, city council has decided to renew the local state of emergency.

The current one runs until August 6th and will be extended for another 30 days after that.

All three fires are classified as out-of-control.
