The last evacuees from the forest fire near Wollaston Lake are expected to be home this afternoon.
Emergency Social Services manager Norm Vetter says less than 150 people were left in Prince Albert and Saskatoon by late morning.
Richard Kent of the Prince Albert Grand Council says those that were remaining today were elders and expectant mothers.
About 1,200 residents of Wollaston Lake and the nearby Hatchet Lake First Nation were away from their homes for nearly a week.
