Hi All,
It was a very positive update last night and this morning on the fire situation. In fact, the cautionary evacuation for us has been lifted and the mandatory evacuation was lifted for Poplar Lake and Hungry Jack Lake.
The fire fighters are doing controlled burns and ditch digging to prevent the fire from spreading to Gunflint Lake.
Entry points are still closed but we expect the ones not impacted to fire to open soon. We will keep you updated.
You can see current updates at www.boreal.org but this is what was posted this morning.
Effective at 12:00 PM on 5/12/07, the cautionary evacuation area between Poplar Lake Fire Hall and Swamper Lake is being lifted. Also, the Mandatory/Imminent Evacuation area between the Poplar Lake Fire Hall and Voyageur Point (County Road 85) is being lifted.
Areas now accessible include the Hungry Jack Lake and Poplar Lake areas.
