It was a good day yesterday in Labrador West in battling the forest fire threatening the region, especially the Town of Labrador City. But it is still out of control and a heavier dose of rain is needed.
It will be sunny and warm in the region today but some light rain is in the forecast for tomorrow.
Lab City Mayor Belinda Adams declared a state of emergency, a move which follows the evacuation of the 10,000 or so residents.
She says they declared the state of emergency to ensure safety and to secure additional support to protect their infrastructure and assets.
