Crews keep battling deadly, out-of-control wildfires in eastern Manitoba

  • Crews continue battling deadly wildfires in eastern Manitoba near Lac du Bonnet, which began on May 13, 2025, and have destroyed homes and caused fatalities.
  • Strong winds up to 70 km/h rapidly spread the fire from a ditch near Highway 313, forcing multiple evacuations and prompting a local state of emergency.
  • Officials evacuated six zones by Tuesday night, rescued stranded residents by helicopter, and confirmed two deaths of Richard and Sue Nowell in the fire zone.
  • The fire covered over 4,000 hectares by May 16, with a pace estimated at four to five miles per hour, while heavy rain provided some relief though the situation remained volatile.
  • Provincial and federal support continues with fire crews arriving from Alberta, park closures, and ongoing power restoration as authorities manage risks and recovery efforts.
