Fire

This morning a brush fire was spotted from Elephant Lake Road and at first I was contacted because it may have been in our area.  Quick inspection showed it was not here.

The fire was at Leafield, directly across the bay from East Bay.  Three fire stations responded as well as EMS and a helicopter.  The fire burned about 2 acres between a cottage and the lake.  The feeling was an unattended camp fire.

It is very dry in the bush.

Culvert

One culvert on maple hill, installed in 2013, has slowly been lifted by frost heaving.  Vehicular traffic has started to crush the culvert.  The road can survive without this culvert, but it is nice to have during spring run off.  We'll let a year pass before making a decision about removal or replacing.
