Manitoba wildfires prompt second declaration of province-wide state of emergency

July 10, 2025

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is declaring a second province-wide state of emergency because of raging wildfires, calling on the military to help once again with thousands of evacuations in some of the more remote regions.

The province, which was under a state of emergency until late last month, announced another declaration Thursday. With nearly 100 fires burning in Manitoba, mostly in the north, the federal government is sending the Canadian Armed Forces to fly residents from several communities toward safer areas.
