A wildfire burns in northern Manitoba near near Flin Flon, as seen from a helicopter surveying the situation, Tuesday, May 14, 2024. A massive wildfire has engulfed swaths of land near Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada, charring thousands of hectares and forcing hundreds of residents to evacuate their homes. The massive fire, like a long snake of flames, is now less than 1 mile away from Cranberry Portage, a town southeast of Flin Flon. The unstoppable fire, first seen on Thursday, is now out of control, according to the province. Fueled by strong winds and dry conditions, the fire has reportedly grown from 3,000 hectares on Saturday to a massive 35,000 hectares by Sunday afternoon. That’s ten times bigger in just two days.
