Pine Creek First Nation Chief Karen Batson has announced a State of Emergency as the community faces ongoing wildfires.

CKDM has received reports that fire crews are still working to contain fires in the Pine Creek area, while fires in the Camperville area are thought to be mostly extinguished.

Wildfires began Sunday afternoon and forced the evacuation of over 100 people from their homes. The majority of evacuees are expected to have returned home at this time.

The State of Emergency means the community will be able to bring in more resources to help during this time of crisis.

More details to follow.
