US EditionSnow Lake Mayor Describes Second Wildfire Evacuation as ‘Frustrating’
SNOW LAKE, MANITOBA, CANADA, JUL 10 – Nearby wildfires have forced Snow Lake's second evacuation this summer as strong winds push flames closer amid 98 active fires in Manitoba, officials said.
- Snow Lake, Manitoba, issued a second mandatory evacuation order this year on Thursday, requiring residents to leave by noon due to nearby wildfires.
- The evacuation follows recent fire activity and forecasts of dryness and warmer-than-normal temperatures expected to increase wildfire risk later this summer.
- The out-of-control NO061 fire, first detected on July 4 and now about 9,500 hectares, is edging closer to Snow Lake while military airlifts evacuate communities like Garden Hill.
- Federal approval for Canadian Armed Forces support to evacuate Garden Hill was granted Wednesday, with Minister Chartrand thanking responders for ensuring the evacuation proceeds safely.
- Officials declared a second province-wide state of emergency, and while the evacuation disrupts lives, authorities hope residents can return soon amid ongoing firefighting efforts.
