Great news for people living in Marchand.  The Fire Program Manager for Manitoba says the community is not in danger due to the extreme fire hazard in the eastern region.  Tom Mirus notes Marchand is not susceptable to lightening and all Manitobans have been really good about following the fire restrictions.  However, a helicopter is in Marchand along with a crew on stand-by.  There are 50 forest fires burning in Manitoba right now, all are contained except for one east of Berens River.
