LAC LA RONGE, Sask. – Not long after residents of Sikichew Lake and Clam Lake Bridge returned home, another round of evacuations has been ordered. Wildfires are threatening the northern Saskatchewan communities, just as they did earlier this month.
Late Wednesday, Wild Fire Management advised the Lac La Ronge Indian Band to proceed with another general evacuation.
Chief Tammy Cook-Searson says they don’t know what caused this latest fire yet, but in a Twitter post, La Ronge Emergency Medical Services blamed the recent heat, wind, and lack of rain.
