Flin Flon, a city in northwestern Manitoba, is expecting cooler temperatures and a chance of rain this week, offering some relief amid ongoing wildfire challenges. Environment Canada forecasts daytime highs ranging from the mid-teens to mid-20s Celsius, with a significant chance of rain on Saturday.
Fire crews continue their efforts to contain a nearby wildfire, which has been successfully kept outside the perimeter highway. Fortunately, no structures have been reported lost so far.
The wildfires in Manitoba have displaced more than 17,000 residents, including approximately 5,000 people from Flin Flon alone. The impact extends across the Prairie provinces, as Saskatchewan also issued evacuation alerts for residents in Timber Bay, a northern community northeast of Saskatoon, due to wildfire threats.
