Crews were working to contain a wildfire in the Conception Bay South area of the Avalon Peninsula Sunday afternoon.
A water bomber is passing and dumping water on the flames in the Lawrence Pond and Kelligrews subdivision area.
VOCM began receiving calls, photos and videos of smoke billowing from the area just after 1 p.m.
Latest reports indicate that crews have been able to bring the fire under control.
VOCM will update the situation with more details as they become available.
Meanwhile, the City of Holyrood has canceled tonight’s Squidfest fireworks display due to the warm, windy and dry conditions.
The current fire ban and high fire index will instead cause the fireworks to be tentatively postponed until RibFest on August 6.
