Update on Manitoba's wildfire situation expected Thursday
An update on Manitoba's current wildfire situation is expected Thursday afternoon, as the province continues to cope with out-of-control blazes and thousands of people forced to flee their homes. Kristin Hayward, assistant deputy minister of the Conservation Officer Service and Manitoba Wildfire Service, and Christine Stevens, the assistant deputy minister of Manitoba's emergency management organization, are slated to speak at the news conference. CBC News will livestream the 12:45 p.m. CT news conference here. The province is experiencing its worst wildfire season in 30 years, with more than 10,000 square kilometres of land burned so far. There have been 310 wildfires to date, the province said in a fire bulletin on Wednesday, well above the average for this date of 225 fires. The province had 123 active wildfires on Wednesday, including fires that remain out of control near evacuated communities such as Garden Hill, Lynn Lake, Marcel Colomb First Nation and Leaf Rapids. There have been 12,000 Manitobans evacuated due to wildfires so far. Roughly 6,000 are in Manitoba hotels, 1,100 are in congregate shelters and 1,300 are in Ontario hotels. The Canadian Armed Forces ended its wildfire assistance operation in Garden Hill Anisininew Nation on Monday, after helping to evacuate over 1,500 people from the community in northeastern Manitoba. Premier Wab Kinew said Wednesday that the costs and revenue loss resulting from Manitoba's wildfire season this year are estimated to exceed $50 million. The premier also promised an internal review of the province's response to the wildfire season, which would look at things like the province's wildfire fighting efforts, emergency social services and safety co-ordination.
