Members of Manitoba First Nation to return home after forest fire
WINNIPEG — People who fled a First Nation in east-central Manitoba that was threatened by a massive wildfire are to start returning to their homes this weekend.
The fly-in community of Little Grand Rapids northeast of Winnipeg was evacuated on May 20.
The fire forced hundreds of people to huddle in a school gymnasium as they waited for the smoke to clear enough for planes to land.
Initial reports said 11 houses were destroyed.
