This is the best summary I could come up with:
As of about 7:15 a.m. local time Sunday, Fort Good Hope Chief Collin Pierrot told CBC News that no structures in Fort Good Hope were damaged in the fire overnight.
Pierrot said he thinks about 300 people of the community of just over 500 have left, with about 180 of those going to Norman Wells and and others evacuating by boat to a fish camp.
Pierrot said he thinks the fire may have burned to the end of the community's airstrip, but conditions are still too smoky to be sure.
Fort Good Hope resident Rose McNeely and 15 members of her extended family left the community by boat last night.
"With the continuing winds and long periods of sunlight in the area, it is expected that that fire will remain active through the night."
Westwick said winds began shifting to the northeast, which is likely to push the fire toward Fort Good Hope.
