Nearly 700 people have been evacuated from their homes in Sapotaweyak Cree Nation, just northeast of Swan River.

They’re currently staying in hotels in Brandon, Swan River and The Pas.

The fire has grown over 2700 hectares as of yesterday and three water bombers and a helicopter were brought in on Sunday to assist in putting it out.

No homes have been lost yet, but the air quality remains very poor with the amount of smoke in it.
