Crews are battling an out-of-control wildfire in the Miramichi area on Wednesday evening.

The blaze has grown to 35 hectares, according to the Department of Natural Resources.

It is located in the area of Oldfield Road and Route 8, just north of the city.

Social media videos show water bombers working in the area trying to knock down the flames.

There have been no reports of any injuries or any structures damaged by the fire.

The wildfire is one of the largest reported in the province so far this year.

It comes as the entire province is under a burn ban due to extremely dry conditions.
