This is the best summary I could come up with:
The entire population of Cranberry Portage evacuated Saturday as a massive blaze marched toward the community, devouring trees on thousands of hectares of land.
On Saturday, things changed in minutes," Lori Forbes told CBC Manitoba Information Radio host Marcy Markusa on Monday morning ahead of the Simmons' update.
Videos posted by residents on social media sites show smoke-choked sky and tall columns of flames pushing toward the road, consuming trees as ash and sparks fly.
But everyone's safe, which is our priority," Forbes said, speaking to CBC News from The Pas, where a reception centre at the Wescana Inn is registering evacuees and arranging accommodations.
Strong northerly winds on Sunday pushed the smoke hundreds of kilometres south in Manitoba, creating air quality warnings well into Winnipeg.
My landline at home is not working and that used to be our failsafe," Flin Flon Mayor George Fontaine told CBC Manitoba Radio Noon host Janet Stewart on Monday.
