Fire Fight Continues

Fire crews are working round-the-clock to stop a raging wildfire from reaching the Mishkeegogamang First Nation near Pickle Lake.

The fire is blazing out-of-control about nine kilometres east of the community.

It's been burning for two weeks and now covers 577 square kilometres -- doubling its size over the weekend.

Residents were evacuated to Sioux Lookout, Geraldton and Ignace last week because of smoke.
