Unfortunately flooding in Kawartha Lakes has gotten to the point where some homes along the Burnt River have been evacuated. 

Global News reported, "David Kish, Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue district fire chief, says residents from three homes on Cedar Plank Road chose to evacuate and required assistance from firefighters, who used rafts to carry the residents. No one was injured."

Thankfully officials say that the levels have stabilized and that they will hopefully begin to recede soon. As always, remember to stay safe in flood conditions!
