An update from Deputy Mayor Alison Dallas-Funk regarding developing plans for re-entry into Flin Flon, June 10, 10:35pm
Key messages:
Mayor and Council acknowledge the tremendous loss in Denare Beach and wish to provide help where needed.
The City of Flin Flon is working on a re-entry plan for the community with Unified Command, including the Office of the Fire Commissioner, Parks Canada, Emergency Measures Organization, and Flin Flon’s fire protection team.
A timeline for re-entering is not fixed. It’s dependent on meeting critical conditions.
This includes the condition of the fire, and the availability of safety services to return to regular community service.
Currently, all safety services, including the RCMP and fire department, are directed towards managing the fire.
Hospital services must also be restored before it is safe to return.
Once these services are restored, we can begin phasing the community back in.
We know that the situation is frustrating and difficult. Our number one priority is to keep people safe.
When we have more information about timelines, we will let the community know promptly.
An update on fire conditions and animal wellness checks will come tomorrow.
