Today has felt like the heaviest day yet this week. Our hearts are with our fellow team members, their families, our customers, and our community, as more news comes in and more fires are confirmed.💔

Like so many others, we wish we could do more, but for now, we’re focusing on supporting organizations that are actively responding and accepting donations. If you’re looking for a way to contribute, there are many amazing organizations collecting donations to help those who have had to evacuate.❤️

As our community welcomes families who have been evacuated due to the ongoing wildfires, we know many children have left home with only the essentials.

We're asking for your help.

We are collecting new and gently used, clean toys, games and books to bring comfort and joy to impacted children.

Drop off donations at: the Thunder Bay Police Station located at 1200 Balmoral Street

Thank you for showing the kindness and generosity that makes our community so special.

🔴 Gakijiwanong Anishinaabe Nation* (Lac La Croix First Nation)
🔴 Gull Bay First Nation*
🔴 Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation*
🔴 Whitesand First Nation*
🟡 Ignace
🟡 Pickle Lake
🟡 Rainy River District - Quetico, Crystal lake, Atikokan and Niobi Lake area

In addition, the following highways are fully closed in both directions, with the exception of some local traffic evacuating the area:

The following highway has been reopened, however wildfire crews may be present in the area. Motorists are urged to drive with caution and avoid non-essential travel.
✅ Highway 11 – between Highway 633 and 623

The OPP reminds the public that wildfires are dynamic and unpredictable. Fire behaviour, including the size and direction of a wildfire, can change rapidly due to weather conditions and other factors.

For your safety and the safety of emergency responders, people are strongly urged to:
• Stay away from affected areas and refrain from attending wildfire scenes to take photos or videos
• Avoid boating and standing where water bombers are actively fighting the fire so they can safely complete water drops
• Remain calm and follow all evacuation orders and emergency instructions issued by local authorities
• Avoid non-essential travel in affected areas
• Monitor official sources for the latest information and evacuation updates
• Remain away from evacuated areas until authorities have advised it is safe to return
• Help keep roadways clear so emergency personnel can carry out their work safely and effectively
• If evacuating, bring essential medications, identification, important documents, mobile devices and chargers, and any items required to support the needs of family members and pets

The OPP recognizes the significant impact evacuations and wildfires can have on individuals, families and communities. Our thoughts are with everyone affected during this challenging time, particularly those who have been forced to leave their homes and communities. The OPP remains committed to working alongside emergency management officials, Indigenous communities, municipal partners and the MNR to support evacuation efforts, protect lives and property, and help ensure the safety and well-being of residents and visitors throughout the region.

For information on the coordinated emergency response, contact the affected municipalities.

Health-related questions can be directed to the Northwestern Health Unit for the Kenora District at 1-800-830-5978, or the Thunder Bay District Health Unit at 807-625-5900.

MISE À JOUR (14 juillet, 22 h 15 HAE) : La Police provinciale de l’Ontario (Police provinciale) de la région du Nord-Ouest continue d’apporter son aide au ministère des Ressources naturelles (MNR) dans plusieurs collectivités du nord-ouest, alors que les feux de forêt continuent de menacer les régions suivantes :

🔴 Nation Anishinaabe de Gakijiwanong* (Première Nation de Lac La Croix)
🔴 Première Nation de Gull Bay*
🔴 Première Nation de Lac des Mille Lacs*
🔴 Première Nation de Whitesand*
🟡 Ignace
🟡 Pickle Lake
🟡 District de Rainy River – région de Quetico, Crystal Lake, Atikokan et Niobi Lake

De plus, les routes suivantes sont entièrement fermées dans les deux sens, à l’exception du trafic local visant à évacuer la région :
⛔ Route 599 – entre la route 516 et la Première Nation de Mishkeegogamang
⛔ Route 527 – entre la Première Nation de Gull Bay et Armstrong

La réouverture de l’autoroute suivante a lieu; toutefois, des équipes de lutte contre les feux de forêt pourraient être présentes dans la région. On recommande vivement aux automobilistes de conduire avec prudence et d’éviter tout déplacement non essentiel.
✅ Autoroute 11 – entre les autoroutes 633 et 623

La Police provinciale de l’Ontario rappelle au public que les feux de forêt sont dynamiques et imprévisibles. Le comportement du feu, notamment son ampleur et sa direction, peut changer rapidement en raison des conditions météorologiques et d’autres facteurs.

Pour votre sécurité et celle des intervenants d’urgence, il est fortement recommandé de :
• Rester à l’écart des zones touchées et de ne pas vous présenter sur les lieux des feux de forêt pour prendre des photos ou des vidéos
• Éviter de naviguer et de vous tenir à proximité des endroits où les avions-citernes combattent activement le feu, afin qu’ils puissent effectuer leurs largages en toute sécurité
• Garder votre calme et respecter tous les ordres d’évacuation et les directives d’urgence émis par les autorités locales
• Éviter tout déplacement non essentiel dans les zones touchées
• Consulter les sources officielles pour obtenir les dernières informations et mises à jour concernant les évacuations
• Rester à l’écart des zones évacuées jusqu’à ce que les autorités indiquent qu’il est sécuritaire d’y retourner
• Contribuer à dégager les chaussées afin que le personnel d’urgence puisse effectuer son travail de manière sécuritaire et efficace
• En cas d’évacuation, emporter les médicaments essentiels, une pièce d’identité, les documents importants, les appareils mobiles et leurs chargeurs, ainsi que tout ce qui est nécessaire pour subvenir aux besoins des membres de la famille et des animaux de compagnie

La Police provinciale de l’Ontario reconnaît l’impact considérable que les évacuations et les feux de forêt peuvent avoir sur les personnes, les familles et les collectivités. Nos pensées vont à toutes les personnes touchées en cette période difficile, en particulier à celles qui ont été contraintes de quitter leur domicile et leur collectivité. La Police provinciale de l’Ontario reste déterminée à collaborer avec les responsables de la gestion des urgences, les communautés Autochtones, les partenaires municipaux et le ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Protection civile (MNR) afin de soutenir les efforts d’évacuation, de protéger les vies et les biens, et de contribuer à assurer la sécurité et le bien-être des résidents et des visiteurs dans toute la région.

Pour obtenir des renseignements sur l’intervention d’urgence coordonnée, communiquez avec les municipalités touchées.

Les questions d’ordre sanitaire peuvent être adressées à l’Unité de santé du Nord-Ouest pour le district de Kenora au 1-800-830-5978, ou à l’Unité de santé du district de Thunder Bay au 807-625-5900.

Pour obtenir des renseignements à jour sur les fermetures de routes, consultez le site 511on.ca ou communiquez avec le Ministère des Transports au 1-800-268-4686 ou au 511on.ca. Veuillez n’appeler le 9-1-1 qu’en cas d’urgence – n’appelez pas le 9-1-1 pour obtenir des renseignements concernant les fermetures de routes. ^pia
