WHITESHELL PROVINCIAL PARK Smoke from numerous forest fires is blanketing much of southern Manitoba and it’s affecting the air you breathe. Crews are fighting fires in northwestern Ontario and east-central Manitoba including several smaller ones in Whiteshell Provincial Park but on the weekend, officials said someone flying a drone interfered with emergency operations on the Camp Lake fire. “The water bomber was attempting to come into West Hawk (Lake) to scoop water for fire fighting and unfortunately with the drone being flown into the airspace, they had to abort the mission,” said Don Hallett, assistant director with the Manitoba Wildfire Service.
