Hydro provides update on Churchill Falls Emergency

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro has confirmed that all residents have now been safely evacuated from Churchill Falls.

At this time, the fire has not crossed the river and remains between 5-6 km from the Town.

Forecasts are not favourable, but there is a coordinated effort being led by the Province.

Response efforts have prioritized protection assets. A small crew remains on site to operate the plant as long it is safe to do so. The plant is currently at normal production levels.
