A large forest fire continues to burn out of control about 35 kilometres west of Fort Hope First Nation.
The blaze is now at 6,678 hectares in size and has forced the evacuation of the most vulnerable in the remote community.
The fire has received limited rainfall over the past 36 hours as the west side of the blaze has seen 8 to 12 millimetres, with only two to three millimetres on the remainder.
Sixteen fire ranger crews and eight helicopters are working on the fire.
