Officials made the announcement Monday evening, as they also lifted an evacuation order covering properties around the estimated 13,000-square-kilometre Donnie Creek fire southeast of Fort Nelson. It says extremely warm conditions over the last week have speeded snowmelt, swelling rivers and leaving them vulnerable to added rainfall and the potential for flooding or debris flows.Evacuation orders in the Peace River Regional District have been replaced by evacuation alerts on Monday evening due to improving wildfire conditions in the area.
British Columbia’s wildfire service says it is cautiously optimistic that rain later this weekend will help crews contain the large wildfires burning near Fort St. John for the last two weeks.
