Evacuations Continue from the Far North

More than 3,000 residents of northwestern Ontario have now been evacuated from their homes as forest fires continue to rage through parts of the province.

Mike Morton of Emergency Management Ontario says so far Kenora has not been asked to welcome any evacuees.

Residents of Cat Lake, Sandy Lake, Keewaywin, Wunnamin Lake and Kingfisher Lake have been evacuated to Moosenee, Arthur and as far away as Ottawa.
