Southend wildfire evacuees to temporarily call P.A. home
Evacuees from a wildfire near Southend, some 400 kilometres north of Melfort, are making Prince Albert their temporary home.
An evacuation order was issued last night by the Prince Albert Grand Council and the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation in response to smoke concerns in Southend.
Wilson Dumais left Southend with his pregnant girlfriend last night.
“She’s in her third trimester now, and I know we didn’t want to wait any longer than we had to,” he said.
