An optional evacuation plan has been finalized for residents of Grand Falls-Windsor as forest fires in central Newfoundlandout of control. The greatest fear now according to officials, is that two large fires will merge into one and every effort is being made to prevent that from happening.
Grand Falls-Windsor is offering residents who are concerned about poor air quality caused by the fires, and who would like to leave town, the option to leave. While none of the communities in central are currently in jeopardy from the flames, the issue says Manuel is smoke which can cause serious breathing issues. Communities as far away as Lewisporte and Twillingate have been experiencing the haze and smell of smoke from the fires.
Waterbombers from neighbouring Quebec have arrived in the province to join in the firefighting efforts in central.
