Fire rages outside Radisson
A fire started outside the small town of Radisson, south of North
Battleford.
Town office assistant Wendy Smith said the town is
still full of smoke.
"It's really windy here, there's a fire out
at our camp ground that isn't under control yet," said Smith.
"There
is a threat to our town."
Fire crews are working tirelessly, but
the blaze remains out of control.
Many are worried the flames
could spread to businesses and homes.
Hopeful for containment
At 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday evening, the fires continued to inch closer and closer to the town.
But residents are trying to keep positive and hopeful.
"Right now with the winds dying down, and the expanding fireguard, we're hopeful that we can contain it."
Fires have also broken out on Wednesday in North Battleford and the Aspen Links country club near Regina burned to the ground.
