Chief Waylon Scott of the Wabaseemoong Independent Nation says rain and cooler temperatures have kept several fires at bay.

He says crews are trying to beat back flames from a 0.3-square-kilometre wildfire burning just over a kilometre from the community.

Since Scott became chief in 2019 , the community has seen three evacuations and six emergencies.
