A grass fire burned through the night and came close to several homes in the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation in Manitoba on Saturday, a councillor from the community says.
Kevin Thomas, who serves as a member of council for the First Nation, says the fire began around 7 p.m. on the borderline of the community, near Highway 59. It continued to spread very, very quickly until about 10 last night. It was really out of control, he said in an interview Sunday.
