Province battling only one side of growing wildfire, letting the rest of the blaze continue burning
Vulnerable residents who were evacuated from a First Nation community in northeastern Manitoba have returned home, but the wildfire that forced them out is still raging out of control while the province is choosing to fight only a part of it.
The smoke from the fire led to the partial evacuation of God’s Lake First Nation in late July. Hundreds with respiratory issues, underlying health conditions and elders stayed at Winnipeg hotels for less than two weeks as air quality in the community continued to worsen.
