People wanting to help in the emergency fire situation in the La Ronge area, including with donations of money are being advised to use caution.
Emergency Operations Centre Communications Coordinator Scott Boyes says there have been reports of fraudulent fundraising.
Boyes says there is one existing charitable effort being arranged through Conexus Credit Union that will be devoted specifically to relief in the Town La Ronge, Air Ronge and Lac La Ronge Indian Band area.
More information is available by calling Conexus at 1-800-667-7477.
People might also wish to support well-known national charities, whose work extends beyond this local emergency.
Donors should research the charity of their choice and be confident in their reputation.
