FORT SMITH, NWT — Firefighters will be watching the skies over the next couple of days hoping for help from Mother Nature as wildfires along the Alberta-Northwest Territories boundary continue to force evacuations.
Late Tuesday, incident commander Gregg Walker said the fire near Fort Smith had moved to within four kilometres of the community, where 93 firefighters and six helicopters remain to fight the blaze. "We had a couple of millimetres of rain over parts of the fire and probably not all of it and that's enough to give us a little bit of a break for a day or so but not longer than that," he said.
The blaze currently bearing down on the Fort Smith area was one of 15 caused by lightning strikes back in May. Walker said other available resources were loaned out to help fight wildfires in other jurisdictions.
