The fires caused officials in Nibinamik First Nation, which is located about 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, to request transport for residents to Kapuskasing, fire information officials said, adding that issues with smoke and a power outage were the main concerns.

Four fires were burning in close proximity to Nibinamik as of Sunday evening and fire crews remained in the community Monday.

One-hundred-and-five residents were flown out on Saturday, according to Andrew Morrison, a spokesperson with Ontario's Ministry of Community Safety, while another 136 were scheduled to be transported on Sunday.
