With an evacuation order partially lifted as of Sunday, a number of evacuees — around 350 of them — have been allowed back home in the RM of Alexander.

But while things seem to be easing up, the municipality’s mayor says it’s still an uncertain time, and he’s urging area residents to do their part in preventing any further spread of flames. There remains a fire ban in place for the entire RM.

“There’s no fireworks, there’s no travelling in the back country, there’s signs out on the trails, even, that say please do not enter — it’s a fire ban, don’t do it,” Brisco told Global Winnipeg.

“It’s a very dangerous time, and we don’t need to be going back to fight any more fires. The rest of the province is doing that now, and we need to help them and keep our forest fires away.”
