Little by little, the wildfire situation in BC’s Peace Region is showing signs of improvement.
Today (Thursday), the BC Wildfire Service stated the Kiskatinaw River Wildfire, 60 kilometres south of Dawson Creek is being held.
The 26,623 hectare blaze has been trending in the right direction in recent days thanks to some much-needed rain last weekend.
On Wednesday, the Peace River Regional District rescinded an evacuation order surrounding the blaze.
Evacuation Order Six, issued on June 13th, has been replaced with an evacuation alert.
The PRRD noted an evacuation alert or order may be reissued if the wildfire situation changes or worsens.
Additionally, the BC Wildfire Service issued an area restriction around the wildfire on Tuesday.
