A wildfire burning close to Flin Flon is closing in on the city. 

Officials say no structures have been lost in Flin Flon or Creighton as of last night. However, winds in the area are now blowing from the south, resulting in heavy smoke and fire moving towards the south side of Flin Flon.

"Fire protection, including sprinklers, has been set up, and fire crews will be working in the Channing area to protect property in the area," said city officials in a post on Facebook.

After a critical review, Manitoba Public Insurance has decided to close off Project Nova.
