Forest Fire Statement: Office of the Fire Commissioner

Released on July 4, 2015

Out of an abundance of caution and due to increased fire activity in the area and the potential risk this presents to the community, starting immediately a general evacuation of residents has been ordered  for the Town of La Ronge, the Village of Air Ronge and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band.

This evacuation has been triggered by a number of wildfires in the area, which are blowing smoke and particulate matter into and around the communities.

Affected residents will be transported to evacuation facilities located in Cold Lake, Alberta.
The Government of Saskatchewan’s Wildfire Management Branch has deployed additional assets to protect the community’s homes and infrastructure from encroaching fires.

Travel to the La Ronge area is restricted while the evacuation is in progress and the threat from smoke and wildfire remains.
