    Hogan says residents need to be aware of situations within the province, such as where potential hot spots are and if there any fire bans in place.

    Last week’s forest fire in Churchill Falls was a close call for the community. Premier John Hogan told reporters on Friday, residents need to be aware of situations within the province, such as where potential hot spots are and if there any fire bans in place. Saskatchewan and Manitoba issued a state of emergency last week due to wildfires which have forced more than 17,000 people to evacuate. Hogan says no resources from this province were sent to help. Meanwhile, the Premier was in Saskatchewan this week and met with other premiers and the Prime Minister.
