Fire chief Frank Sheppard says the town was asked Monday to host as many as one hundred evacuees because of flooding in their remote community.
They were to arrive in Fort Frances Tuesday afternoon, but Sheppard says the situation in Kashechewan has since changed and there's no longer an immediate need for local help.
So far, nearly 600 people are being housed in Thunder Bay, Kapuskasing and Cornwall.
Sheppard says Fort Frances would be next in case more evacuations become necessary.
