The forest fire near the Snare hydroelectric site continues to burn and ENR reports that it is about 2,700 hectares.
There are three ENR fire crews staying onsite and they continue to protect our assets with controlled burns, when possible, and water drops.
Our staff are assisting ENR crews with large equipment operation and in any other way they can. The staff are safe and we have emergency plans in place in the event that an evactuation needs to take place.
Keep up the great work - your time and efforts are very appreciated!
