Newfoundland assessing wildfire damage; Nova Scotia Long Lake fire grows

ST. JOHN'S - The Newfoundland and Labrador government has assembled a committee to lead recovery efforts in the Conception Bay North area, where a wildfire has destroyed about 100 structures.

Premier John Hogan says officials want to prepare a recovery plan now even though the fire that began near Kingston, N.L., is still burning out of control and thousands remain evacuated.
