Some 650 residents from Sandy Lake First Nation are now settled into hotels in Fort Frances and Thunder Bay.
They have been forced from their homes because of forest fire smoke that is affecting their community.
Ministry of Natural Resources Information Officer Debbie MacLean says fires to the south and west of Sandy Lake are not directly threatening the community but they are keeping a close eye on them.
MacLean says anticipated rain is expected to knock the fire hazard down to low in the south.
