Smooth Rock Falls is changing the way it handles forest fire and flood evacuees from the far north. The town has partnered with ISN-Maskwa to take care all evacuation emergencies this year.
Administrator Yvan Marchand says the town will be involved on a limited basis compared to the past when they were the lead in the area.
A hot dry summer is anticipated in the far north due to the lack of snow this winter, and that could lead a busy forest fire season.
