Around 140 people from the Marcel Colomb First Nation have been evacuated to a hotel in Thompson.
The evacuation is needed because of wildfires burning in the area.
The Canadian Red Cross is providing lodging, food and other necessary support for members of the community.
At 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, the Canadian Red Cross was activated by the federal government to support the evacuation of the community.
Buses were provided for those who required transportation to Thompson, others drove.
It isn’t known how long the evacuees will be out of their community.
Since Red Cross disaster assistance to First Nations is supported by the federal government, the expenses for the response are covered.
