Mother Nature isn't co-operating in the fight against three raging wildfires in Newfoundland and Labrador, as conditions remain dry, temperatures are high and no rain is expected, says the provincial fire duty officer.

The three fires have forced hundreds of people to evacuate their communities on the Avalon Peninsula — from both the Kingston fire in Conception Bay North and the fire near Holyrood. A third fire in central Newfoundland, south of Bishop's Falls, was reported on Tuesday.

Provincial fire duty officer Jeff Motty said they expect temperatures to be high Wednesday.
