Wildfire Fighting and Information for Evacuees, June 4, 2025, 8:36am:
Currently, 200-250 personnel are fighting the fire. At this time, Flin Flon has not seen any structural fires, and as of 11:30pm, Creighton has not either.
Equipment has been deployed to protect the airport and structures at Baker’s Narrows. Although airport staff have been evacuated, no structures have been lost, and the airport remains secure and operational for emergency aircraft, thanks to the help of trained emergency staff.
It is not safe for residents to return to Flin Flon at this time. Evacuees should prepare for the possibility that it will be some time until the situation has stabilized to the point that returning is safe.
We understand that this is an incredibly challenging time for everyone who has had to leave their homes, and our priority is first the preservation of life, then the preservation of property.
