Wildfires in the northern Interlake region have forced at least 750 people from their homes.
The biggest fire is burning over a massive area north of Lake Manitoba and is affecting several nearby communities.
As crews battle the flames, residents of five nearby First Nations have been forced to flee due to deteriorating conditions.
Heavy smoke has led to evacuations in the Lake St. Martin, Little Saskatchewan, Pinaymootang, Skownan and Dauphin River First Nations.
Evacuees are staying in Dauphin and Winnipeg.
