> The Long Lake wildfires complex continues to be held at an estimated 8468 hectares. There are no new reports of damage. Crews had a very productive day yesterday, as weather conditions were in their favour. Today has the potential to be the same. The lack of rain presents challenges with dry fuel.
> 
> The southern half of the fire is still seeing persistent fire activity that is being actioned by fire crews with aircraft dropping water. Crews also still working on eliminating hazards and securing an area of 300 feet around each West Dalhousie property.
> 
> Resources today include eight helicopters, four planes and a bird dog, seven pieces of heavy equipment and seven water tankers. Firefighters on site include: 37 Department of Natural Resources, 60 Quebec, and support staff.
