Some evacuees from the Poplar Hill First Nation are heading home.
One week ago, the City of Kenora accepted 75 evacuees from that community, who have been staying in a high school.
They were fleeing Red Lake forest fire #65, which is sized at 16,651 hectares and is 6 kilometres northwest of the community.
City officials say Chief Howard Comber has let them know they appreciated the accommodations.
They add it was a privilege to help Poplar Hill, and Kenora is ready to host them again if needed.
Thunder Bay is hosting 300 evacuees.
