The City of Brandon is deploying teams from Brandon Fire & Emergency Services (BFES) to assist with wildfire efforts in northern Manitoba, following a request from the Province. The first team of five firefighters is set to depart within the next few hours to support property protection efforts in Lynn Lake. Teams of 5–6 personnel will be deployed for up to six days at a time, providing critical support to communities facing the threat of wildfires. “We are honoured to lend our expertise and resources to support the protection of Manitobans in the north," stated Terry Parlow, Chief of Emergency Services. “We are profoundly grateful to all of the first responders and volunteers working tirelessly to protect our fellow Manitobans,” shared Mayor Jeff Fawcett. “We extend our thoughts and deepest support to all First Nations and municipalities impacted by the wildfires.” The Canadian Red Cross is supporting people impacted by Manitoba wildfires. Any inquiries regarding evacuees should be directed to them directly.

Manitobans have spoken – and the results are in. The 2025 CAA Worst Road is Provincial Trunk Highway 34 (PTH 34) in Central Plains/Pembina Valley, Manitoba. Frustrations with potholes, poor road maintenance, poor road signage and unpaved roads pushed PTH 34 to the number one spot. This marks this road’s sixth appearance on the CAA Worst Roads Top 10 list; however, this is the first time it has taken the top spot. This year also marks a historic first for the CAA Worst Roads campaign – for the first time in its 14-year history, nine out of ten roads on the top 10 list are from rural Manitoba communities. Saskatchewan Avenue, the only Winnipeg road on the list in 2025, has appeared on the CAA Worst Roads list for the last seven consecutive years. "The CAA Worst Roads campaign provides a powerful snapshot to governments on where to prioritize budgets and move up road repairs by giving Manitobans an opportunity to have their say on the difficulties they are experiencing in getting around," says Ewald Friesen, manager of government and community relations for CAA Manitoba, "We saw the proof of this when last year's winner, 18th Street in Brandon, received a swift and coordinated response from governments on the same day the results were released, with shovels in the ground by Fall.” This year’s campaign saw an almost 50 per cent increase in roads nominated, with 723 different roads across 86 municipalities. CAA research shows that 39 per cent of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with road work projects, stating that the roads don’t last long before they must be repaired again. However, 88 per cent are willing to put up with the inconvenience of construction in exchange for long-term improvements. "Manitobans take to this campaign because they are hopeful for change,” says Friesen. “CAA’s annual campaign plays a critical role in highlighting the roads that need urgent attention, providing governments with a better understanding of where Manitobans want these investments made." Half of the roads on the top 10 list are new this year. These include Provincial Road 234 in Interlake, Provincial Road 349 in Westman, Provincial Road 239 in Interlake, 26th Street in Brandon, and Provincial Trunk Highway 12 in Eastman.

The Manitoba government is declaring a provincewide state of emergency under the Emergency Measures Act, Premier Wab Kinew and Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor, minister responsible for the Emergency Measures Organization, declared based on the recommendation from Manitoba’s wildfire and emergency management officials. “With the wildfires in northern Manitoba intensifying, our government has triggered a provincewide state of emergency to help us through this crisis,” said Kinew. “The safety of Manitobans is, and will always be, our number one priority.” The state of emergency is initially in effect for 30 days once issued and may be extended if necessary. This ensures federal, provincial and local resources can be delivered in a co-ordinated response to help protect Manitobans, noted the premier. In addition to the state of emergency declaration, the city of Flin Flon and the First Nations of Pimicikimak and Mathias Colomb have issued mandatory evacuation orders. All residents and visitors must evacuate the communities as soon as possible before midnight tonight. “This is the largest evacuation in many Manitobans’ living memory and this will require significant resources and co-operation from all levels of government,” said Kinew. “I have spoken with the prime minister and we have asked for the support of the Canadian Armed Forces in transporting evacuees. There are hundreds of people who are mobilized to get you to safety and provide help. This is what Manitobans do, and we will get through this.” All evacuees are urged to follow the instructions of the emergency alerts in their communities with specific instructions on how to make their way to safety.
