Northern Manitoba wildfire evacuees’ return delayed because of mould, rotting food in homes

September 12, 2025

More than two months after her entire Northern Manitoba community was forced to flee from a raging wildfire this summer, Beverly Baker has no idea when she will be allowed to go back home.

The flames near Leaf Rapids, a scenic town with a population of 350, have been under control since last month. Evacuees were being prepared to return this week. But on Friday, residents were told they will have to wait even more – at least until October – because their homes are no longer habitable.
