KENORA, Ontario – The wildfire north of Wabaseemoong Independent Nations is “being held” while the giant blaze west of the community is still a growing concern, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources. An evacuation order for the area, including Wabaseemoong, remains in place. The ministry changed the status of Kenora 14, a 1,600-hectare fire north of Wabaseemoong, last week to “being held.” The status means Kenora 14 is not likely to spread beyond existing boundaries under current weather conditions. …MNR fire information officer Alison Bezubiak said Kenora 20, on the other hand, has grown a little to more than 32,000 hectares – 29,729 hectares in Ontario, the remainder in Manitoba. The northeast end of the wildfire is within two kilometres of the community, she said. “Fire Ranger crews have completed values protection with sprinklers on all structures within the community and helicopter bucketing is ongoing on hot spots nearest to the community,” she added.
