I saw part of the press conference live stream with Premier Kinew and at least one other official on CBC. I trust they're doing what they can, but it was interesting how not a lot could be discussed about how the two that died were found, or specific details on how the fire in the Lac Du Bonnet area started. Apparently this is still under investigation by RCMP, so of course more details will come out later. So far it's been released that particular fire was human-caused.
They've now identified the victims.
Thanks for the update. Although they just could have said so if this is the case, it’s occurred to me since earlier they also might have had trouble notifying the closest family members first.
Depending on the circumstances, they could just be respecting the families' wishes.
