I had a hard time getting an idea of the size of the fire or the town from the article. As an external point of reference, the population is reported as 249 in 2016.

That's the town itself, the area is surrounded by Indian Reserves and I can't find any news how they fared. This was another First Nations tragedy, as if they didn't suffer enough already.

It's about a dozen or so square blocks, pretty typical for small towns along a river.
