Antoine Lake Complex (Fort Simpson - FS016-26/FS014-26)

With relative humidities dropping into the 30% zone, fire activity should be expected within the fire’s inner perimeter, or moving away from the community. Residents and travellers in the Fort Simpson area should expect to continue to see this sort of activity throughout the summer. However, there are no threats to the community. Infrared scanning indicates that the numbe of hotspots within Fort Simpson has been reduced to 15 thanks to the aggressive efforts by firefighters to seek and remove remaining heat. This work will continue - 

On FS014, towards Checkpoint, heavy equipment and crews continue work to contain perimeter to the north and south of Highway 1 to prevent further growth. Structure protection is maintained on priority values in the area as a precaution.
