(CBC)Rainfall on Tuesday and Wednesday helped firefighters put out some of the nearly 60 fires that were burning a few days earlier, bringing the number down to 29 by Wednesday afternoon.

There was also good news for residents of two First Nations communities that had been evacuated as a result of the fires: Obedijwan, 200 kilometers north of Tremblant, and Manawan, 180 kilometres north of Joliette.

Both were given the green light to return home after fire officials said their communities were no longer in danger.

However, provincial officials said it's not yet clear when the people of the Wemotaci reserve, roughly 200 kilometres north of Trois-Rivières, will be able to return home.

Approximately 1,200 Wemotaci residents have found temporary housing while another 100 remain in an emergency shelter set up in the town of La Tuque.

"For today, nobody's going in," said Jacques Viger, a spokesperson for Quebec's Public Security Ministry. "Everybody's staying in La Tuque or where they are now."
