Evacuation underway in Pikangikum first nation

A full evacuation in northwestern Ontario. It’s at Pikangikum First Nation where a forest fire burned less than ten kilometres from the community. Heavy smoke had already led authorities to begin moving about 2,000 vulnerable residents out of the area. It is not clear where they will be housed.
Authorities planned to use a combination of air, land and water routes to take evacuees from the community of about 3,800 people to towns in northern Ontario, and the province was looking for other centres to help.
