Anyone have a wirdfire report, we are heading to the Earfalls area, to fish the English River in 2 weeks. Seems like it could be a bad year for them considering how dry it has been..

I checked the mnr fire web site this morning, no active fires in the red lake district and there have only been 4 so far this year, but when we stopped for coffee at the Sunset in Perrault Falls they told us there was a fire just south of the falls and some of the cottagers had been put on a 2 hour evacution notice the night before.

That fire was just about a mile south of my cottage. The neighbors watched three waterbombers make a loop, picking up water out of Perrault Lake, circling NW over the cottages on Wabaskang, dumping the water on the fire, then circling back to Perrault for another load. Each plane made the loop every ten minutes, it was quite entertaining I guess, and lasted most of the afternoon. They also had 40 men on the ground to put out hotspots. I guess a tree fell across the Hydro line leading to Jim and Julies Camp started it.

Wish'in I was fish'in on Wabby
