Because of the improved weather conditions, healthy evacuees with their own vehicles may begin returning to Pelican Narrows.
According to a Facebook post, the road from Smeaton to Pelican Narrows reopened Sunday evening.
People with health issues, young children, pregnant women, home care residents and elders are advised to not return at this time.
They are at higher risk due to poor air quality, reduced medical services, and limited support infrastructure.
The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency is assessing the fire situation to see when other communities can reopen to residents.
Most Weyakwin residents have returned to their homes as well.
Ordered evacuation for some LLRIB communities
In the meantime, an ordered evacuation has been put in effect for the Lac La Ronge Indian Band communities of Hall Lake, Sucker River and La Ronge.
Only emergency, essential personnel will be permitted to travel north toward the region at this time.
Band officials say active fire zones include Napatak, Potato Lake, Hall Lake, Waden Bay, and Sucker River.
Crews working on the fires include Type 3 firefighters from Onion Lake, Wahpeton, Dillon, Prince Albert, and Stanley Mission.
Only southbound traffic is being allowed south through La Ronge.
SPSA says rain helped firefighting efforts
Also over the weekend, The SPSA says all fires in the province received some rain.
The Shoe Fire that’s been threatening Candle Lake received 22 millimetres.
That’s not a lot, but the S-P-S-A says the moisture is appreciated and gives firefighters a small window to directly fight the fires while their intensity is lower.
Air quality warnings are in effect for the La Ronge, Pelican Narrows and Sandy Bay areas today.
Another update on the provincial fire situation will be done this afternoon.
