Help on the way for central Newfoundland fire Premier says is largest since 1961:

“This is a dynamic, evolving situation as all fires are, but we can’t wait for the last minute we have to act now,” Furey said.

The fire has been burning for close to two weeks in central
Newfoundland and has prompted road closures, including the Bay d’Espoir
Highway is the only road connecting the communities of Harbour Breton,
Hermitage and Conne River to the Trans-Canada Highway, the main
thoroughfare across the province.

Coady said the wildfires will most likely continue to burn out of control due to the weather conditions.

“Over the past couple days, we’ve seen some extreme fire behaviour,” he
said at the news conference. “We expect to see that continue for today
and possibly for the next few days. This is due to the high winds and
low humidity.”
