🔥 Gravenhurst Wildfire Update (10:38 PM):
Crews have contained the Beiers Road fire down to about 5 hectares with aircraft support from Ontario Forest Fires. The blaze remains active, and smoke may linger for a few days. Beiers Road will stay closed for firefighting operations, please avoid the area.
Firefighters are currently responding to a fast-moving wildfire that broke out earlier this afternoon just south of Gravenhurst, near Beiers Road.
Officials estimate the blaze to be roughly 40 hectares in size, making it one of the largest wildfires reported this year in Southern Ontario. The fire has expanded quickly, having started only a couple of hours ago, and officials caution that the size estimate may change as assessments continue.
Multiple fire departments from surrounding communities have joined the response, and water bombers are actively working the scene in an effort to contain the spread.
At this time, no evacuation orders have been issued, though residents are urged to avoid the area and allow emergency crews to operate safely.
Authorities continue to monitor conditions closely, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
