Saskatchewan Lays Charges in Wildfires While 1,000 More Flee in Manitoba

  • More than 30,000 people fled their homes in Manitoba and Saskatchewan due to numerous wildfires in recent days across the Prairies.
  • The wildfires have worsened partly because drier conditions arrived earlier than usual in May, prompting states of emergency declared last week to coordinate support.
  • Major evacuation zones include La Ronge, Saskatchewan, displacing 7,000 people, Flin Flon, Manitoba with 5,000 residents evacuated, and about 6,700 displaced in the Pimicikamak Cree Nation.
  • Chief David Monias and First Nations leaders expressed concerns over inadequate fire resources and said firefighters and equipment, including 30 to 35 structural firefighters and six pumpers, are being deployed, while governments will match donations for relief efforts.
  • Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe resists military intervention except for specific roles like aerial evacuations, while the Opposition and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew urge full deployment of all available resources.
