More than 2,000 people have now evacuated from three Northwestern Ontario First Nations as forest fires menace their communities.
Fires threatening Poplar Hill, Deer Lake, and Pikangikum First Nations hadn’t moved significantly closer to the communities, reported Ontario’s Aviation, Forest Fire and Emergency Services (AFFES) on Friday.
“We’ve seen some slightly less extreme fire behaviour in the north of the Red Lake District over the last couple of days, which has kept those fires reasonably stationary,” said fire information officer Chris Marchand. “They’re still growing in size, but not at a rate that’s too alarming.”

Red Lake 68 is one of several large fires burning in the region’s northwest. This 15,000 hectare fire is located near Pringle Lake, approximately 55 kilometres northeast of Red Lake.
Red Lake Fire 16 has now joined Fire 67.
The combined fire is listed at 120,000 hectares in size and is 10 kilometres North of Fire 77.
In their update this afternoon, the Municipality says there is no evacuation order yet but likely in the near future.
Fire 77 also remains a threat, located about 20 kilometres west of Madsen and Starratt-Olsen listed at 19,000 hectares and is not under control.
The Municipality says there is a very real chance that fires 16 and 67 will join together with fire 77 and it’s estimated that once combined, the fire may be well over 150,000 hectares in size.
