Overview

• The out‑of‑control Long Lake fire was last estimated at about 3,255 hectares, with officials saying smoke is preventing a new size update after notable spread on Sunday.
• Evacuation orders were expanded twice Sunday to include stretches of Highway 10 near Trout, Zwicker and East lakes, Old Liverpool Road, Che‑Boag‑A‑Nish Road, West Dalhousie Road, and parts of Morse and Thorne roads.
• Authorities reported the fire crossed West Dalhousie Road and Thorne Road at several points and advanced toward Paradise Lake, with structure‑protection measures deployed and no homes reported damaged.
• The incident command post was moved to Bridgetown as a precaution, and evacuee support shifted to the Bridgetown fire hall after reception and shelter operations in Middleton were wound down.
• More than 50 provincial firefighters, 62 from Ontario, and over 50 local volunteers are on the lines with helicopters, fixed‑wing aircraft and heavy equipment, as officials caution that any short‑lived showers will not end the threat.
