Northern Evacuations due to Wildfires

An out-of-control wildfire burning west of Lake Winnipeg has forced several communities to flee.

The Rural Municipality of Kelsey says Rocky Lake East Shore, Rocky Lake North Shore, Wanless and the Carrot Valley along Highway 283 were evacuated on Thursday.

Residents leaving their homes are to register for support at the Wescana Inn Rendezvous Room in The Pas.

The fire is estimated to be 66 square kilometres in size according to the province.
