A 38-hectare fire has threatened the community of Pikangikum First Nation, about 500 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, forcing more than half of its 3,800 residents to evacuate the region.
“It’s been a hard week for us back home, pretty much for everybody,” Calvin Keeper, one of the evacuees sent to Manitoba, told CTV Winnipeg. "I'm just glad to get out of there,” said resident Harold Aspert. “Hopefully my house will be standing when I get back home."
