Yeah, it sounds pretty bad. A friend who I used to fish with on Red Lake called me last night. He has some longtime friends in Red Lake. He said there were still about 1,500 out of a total of 4,100 still in town and that they were going to start airlifting some out if needed. He said the fire is up to Hwy. 125 and 105 just south of town.
Wishing them all the best.

Thanks Marten. That worked. It's grown from about 450 ha yesterday to 750 ha today.
