Flin Flon, Lynn Lake Lifting Wildfire Evacuation Orders
- The town of Lynn Lake in northwestern Manitoba ended its evacuation directive early Friday morning, even though a nearby wildfire covering approximately 71,000 hectares was still uncontrolled.
- The evacuation orders resulted from an intense wildfire season with 124 fires this spring above the 20-year average and over 902,000 hectares burned across Manitoba.
- Flin Flon’s city council plans to officially rescind its evacuation order Monday and secure transportation for residents, with re-entry expected at 9 a.m. Wednesday barring unexpected fire activity.
- Deputy Mayor Alison Dallas-Funk stated that while essential services will resume this weekend, medically vulnerable residents should delay return since some health care and grocery supplies remain limited.
- Authorities warned residents must stay prepared for sudden evacuations as smoke and falling ash risks remain, especially with increased wind and heat affecting fire conditions.
