WINNIPEG — Crews fighting a blaze on Beresford Lake will soon get some help.
Officials say 35 firefighters from northern Manitoba will be deployed Thursday with 20 firefighters from Nova Scotia expected to arrive in Manitoba Friday.
The fire on Beresford is holding at around 73,000 hectares in size.
While the wildfire on Caddy Lake hasn’t grown, it did destroy a trapper’s cabin as well as an old train station house overnight.In a Facebook post Thursday morning the Whiteshell Cottagers Association wrote “On a very sad historical note – the community did lose our historic station house at Winnitoba. It was a social centre for us for many years before the access road opened in 1998.”
