A raging wildfire in northern Ontario has prompted the Chief of the New Osnaburgh First Nation to order the evacuation of the entire community of more than 450 people.
About 150 residents are now in Geraldton, 195 in Sioux Lookout and 105 in Ignace.
The fire is burning 15 kilometres east of New Osnaburgh, and has grown to 300 square kilometres.
