From the Emergency Operations Centre – La Ronge
Due to the Serious Forest Fire Situation, more specifically, the Lynx Fire — Threatening Highway 102 — near the Stanley Mission Road (highway 915)…this is putting the Planned Convoy for today in REAL DOUBT…
The 2nd Planned Convoy is for Permanent Residents of Stanley Mission, Grandmother’s Bay, Missinipe, Brabant Lake, Southend and the Athabasca Basin.
The plan was to meet 10 km south of La Ronge at the Barricade and proceed north to Sucker RIver…then the convoy would be on its own…but due to the forest fire — THE LYNX FIRE, threatening Highway 102, there is REAL Doubt as to weather this convoy will happen later today…
The plan was to roll from 5pm until 8pm…..but now, because the Lynx Fire is threatening Highway 102 the CONVOY might be CALLED OFF….
