Fight continues against wildfires in hard-hit northern Quebec
fight is focused in the province’s northern region where flames have reached the doorstep of a municipality of roughly 800 people Thursday., Que., located 720 kilometres northwest of Montreal.
Quebec’s forest fire prevention agency says it is confident the small community can be protected and that winds in the region are less strong than feared. Agency spokeswoman Karine Pelletier says the government is also focusing efforts on Lebel-sur-Quévillon, Que., a northern municipality where 2,100 people were evacuated and where two separate large fires could merge.
