Monitoring of the landfill will continue throughout the night and into Friday to ensure that hot spots remain suppressed.

However, a local state of emergency will remain in place so that the town may continue to access all the provincial resources available.

The town says that declaration will automatically expire within a week of being issued.

There are currently 49 personnel on site.
