Wildfire came very close to Uranium City a couple a week or two ago. Just 10 km to the south-east, on the opposite shore of Beaverlodge Lake from the airport and the former townsite of Eldorado. For a couple of days ash was reportedly falling in town, and the smoke was dangerously thick. Luckily, the rains came and the fire was put out. Spoke with mayor Harold Grasley yesterday and he said the fire was never in any danger of spreading into town, and that they had plans in place in case it jumped the narrow band of Beaverlodge Lake that separated it from the old mine and Eldorado townsite
