Manitoba is under provincewide emergency order as wildfires continue to burn
MANITOBA, CANADA, JUL 11 – Manitoba’s second state of emergency was declared amid a wildfire season burning over 1 million hectares, forcing 12,600 evacuations and requiring military evacuation support, officials said.
- In July 2025, Manitoba declared its second emergency across the entire province as ongoing wildfires continued to burn and prompted evacuations in northern communities.
- The emergency was triggered by ongoing wildfires detected since May 20, including an 84,377-hectare fire that led to the mandatory evacuation of residents from Pimicikimak Cree Nation and the Cross Lake area.
- Evacuation orders remain in effect for nearly twelve communities, impacting approximately 4,000 individuals in Garden Hill and over 1,000 residents in the vicinity of Snow Lake, while officials in Thompson have issued pre-evacuation warnings to more than 13,000 people.
- Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew called on the military to airlift residents, noting over 12,600 evacuees face lodging shortages, and Winnipeg's convention centre will shelter up to 7,000 people.
- The wildfire season has burned more than one million hectares, marking the worst in 30 years, and officials urge preparedness for possible further evacuations as fire risks persist.
