The federal government has deployed members of the Canadian Armed Forces to help evacuate a First Nation in northwestern Ontario as wildfires rapidly spread in the region, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Sunday.

Carney said in a social media post that Ottawa has accepted Ontario’s urgent request for assistance in and around Sandy Lake First Nation, and the military will help with emergency airlift evacuations.

“We’re prepared to mobilize every resource needed to keep Canadians safe,” Carney wrote.
