The Village of Candle Lake is sharing some good news via it’s Sunday morning wildfire update.

The report states that due to the 22 mm of rain that fell on Saturday and the firefighting efforts of the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, the Shoe fire is 11 kilometres away from the village, the same distance it was on Friday.

The report adds that there are no hot spots on the western edge of the fire and no westward growth is expected in the coming days. Weather conditions for the next several days will be very favourable for SPSA crews to more directly fight the fire. Looking ahead, efforts will be focused on the southwest corner of the fire, and north and south from Torch River.
