OXFORD HOUSE, Man. – Nearly 3,800 people from First Nations in Saskatchewan and Manitoba remain out of their homes due to nearby wildfires.
The Canadian Red Cross says it’s supporting more than 2,300 from the remote community of Bunibonibee Cree Nation in northeastern Manitoba, offering lodging, food, transportation and supplies.
Chief Richard Hart says crews have made progress on suppressing that fire and are hopeful they can contain it sometime this week.
The Canadian Red Cross is supporting residents of two other First Nations in northeastern Manitoba.
