Evacuations continued Tuesday in areas of Manitoba affected by ongoing wildfires.

The province said Nopiming Provincial Park in eastern Manitoba is being evacuated due to the fire threat while Whiteshell Provincial Park has been closed due to an out-of-control fire along the border with Ontario.

A fire near Bird River in the RM of Alexander, northeast of Winnipeg, has also forced a number of people from their homes, while the RM of Piney has declared a state of local emergency. The wildfire near The Pas remains out-of-control and the RM of St. Clements is on alert.
