The Township of Greater Madawaska is reporting the Centennial Lake Fire’s official status is described as “being held”, meaning firefighters are moving to the clean-up stage of the burnt area.
Greater Madawaska thanks Township firefighters and those departments rendering mutual aid for their herculean efforts since last Sunday.
Crews will continue to work and to monitor the area over the coming days.
The evacuation order for Black Mountain Estate, Little Bay Lane and Airds Lake Rd, behind and including Snider’s Tent and Trailer Park, will be reviewed with a present intention of lifting it Friday at 3PM.
Any situational changes that develop between updates will be released as soon as possible.
Bystanders should continue to avoid the temptation of putting themselves in the way of the clean-up work and allow teams to do their jobs.
Anyone needing assistance, please contact the Township office at 613-752-2261 or cao@greatermadawaska.com
