Approximately 255 hectares had been burned by midday Monday, and by afternoon the province had deployed water bombers to help snuff the blaze. High winds, high temperatures and extremely dry conditions have caused the fire to change direction and restart several times, reported CFB Shilo public affairs officer Lori Truscott.
