ER Closures Amid Wildfire Crisis | Winnipeg News
Description
Emergency room in 100 Mile House is closing again—this time Friday and Sunday, amid active wildfires—forcing locals and visitors to call 911 instead of driving to Williams Lake, where smoke and fire risks make travel dangerous. Mayor Maureen Pinkney calls it unacceptable, noting this is the 36th closure this year, despite ERs being meant to run 24/7 during peak season. Extra paramedics are on duty, but community stress mounts as smoke, fire, and detours compound the crisis.
