As of last weekend, the recent forest fire outbreak between Cranberry Portage and Flin Flon has grown to 38 kilometers long and 12 kilometers wide. This past weekend provincial water bombers were out on Rocky Lake collecting water to help fight the forest fires raging in northern Manitoba. Residents in Cranberry Portage were evacuated to The Pas and Swan River and firefighters worked around the clock to control the blaze and Manitoba Hydro works to restore power.
