Fire in northwestern Ontario prompts evacuation order and alerts in Manitoba's Nopiming Provincial Park


 
NOPIMING PROVINCIAL PARK
People in parts of Nopiming Provincial Park remain on evacuation alert while cottagers in one subdivision have already been forced to leave.
The province said a
wildfire burning in northwestern Ontario prompted the evacuation of cottages in the Davidson Lake subdivision near the Manitoba/Ontario border.
Meantime, people at Bird Lake, Flanders Lake and Booster Lake have been told to be ready to leave on short notice.
“So everybody’s taking it pretty seriously,” said Randy Hiebert, a cottage owner at Flanders Lake. “It’s really surreal. It’s not something that you would expect would happen in your own backyard.”
