Quebec wildfires: Next 48 hours crucial with rain forecast for Tuesday

The next 48 hours will be crucial in Quebec’s wildfire fight in the northern and western parts of the province, with rain forecast for Tuesday but warmer, less humid temperatures expected in the days ahead.

Authorities are concerned for Normetal, located 720 kilometres northwest of Montreal in the Abitibi region, where fires are burning nearby, Public Safety Minister François Bonnardel says.

Another major fight is taking place in Lebel-sur-Quevillon, a northern municipality where the province’s largest fire is about five kilometres southeast of the community and a few kilometres from the Nordic Kraft pulp mill.

Elizabeth Zogalis has the latest on the wildfire situation in the province.
