The Baynes Lake wildfire is roughly 75 per cent contained and mapped at 117 hectares, as updated by the RDEK on Tuesday afternoon. However, wind is in the forecast and officials will be watching the weather carefully to respond if necessary. There is the chance of a thunderstorm system coming through the area with limited precipitation and wind gusts that could potentially be up to 60 kilometres per hour. The Baynes Lake area and the Kragmont community remain on an evacuation alert, however, officials encourage residents to be prepared to leave immediately if an evacuation order is issued.
