Manitoba has declared another provincewide state of emergency as wildfires continue to threaten communities.

The state of emergency came into effect at 12:01 p.m. Thursday after a number of communities declared mandatory evacuation orders in response to wildfires, Premier Wab Kinew said at a news conference.

The province also declared a state of emergency on May 28 that was lifted on June 23.

The state of emergency will allow the province to access more facilities and shelter a growing number of evacuees fleeing from their homes, Kinew said.
