An overnight fire at Wildcove was contained by about 8:30 this morning but crews continue to work on hot spots. The blaze broke out around 10:30 last night. Today, the smoke is visible in the Bay of Islands and Corner Brook areas, prompting the city as well as Hughes Brook and Irishtown-Summerside to issue air quality advisories. People with respiratory issues, young children and seniors are being asked to limit outdoor activity, turn off ventilation systems, and keep windows and doors closed.
