EAO Still in Effect; Residents Hopeful of Return

The community of New Osnaburgh is hoping to have 500-evacuated residents return home as early as Friday, if the air quality continues to improve.
An official says residents, now living in Sioux Lookout, Ignace and Greenstone, are anxious to get home.
Some 300-firefighters continue to work on a now nearly 68,000 hectare blaze near the First Nation.
An Emergency Area Order remains in effect, which means travel is restricted in the area.
