Manitoba RCMP officers continue to assist with the evacuation of Black Sturgeon Falls. The evacuations of the communities of Flin Flon and surrounding areas, Lynn Lake, Pimicikamak Cree Nation, Mathias Colomb Cree Nation and Tataskweyak Cree Nation have been completed.

RCMP officers, along with firefighters and EMS, remain in these communities to ensure home and properties are secure, while maintaining road closures and roadblocks.

The Manitoba RCMP thanks all residents of evacuated communities for their continued cooperation and everyone who is providing assistance and support to those in need.

As many evacuees are traveling south towards safer destinations, motorists are urged to drive with caution.    If you come across a checkpoint, please be patient and await further instructions from the officers on scene.

Anyone needing information in regards to road closures in the wildfire zones are asked to check with the Manitoba 511 website at manitoba511.ca for the latest updates on what’s open and what’s closed.
