MCBRIDE, B.C. — Three separate out-of-control wildfires burning near the boundary between British Columbia and Alberta, including two in the Peace River region, have prompted evacuation orders and an alert.
The Peace River Regional District has ordered the immediate evacuation of residents near the Red Creek wildfire, covering 1,550 hectares directly northwest of Fort St. John, B.C., about 1,200 kilometres northeast of Vancouver.
Meanwhile, Goodlow, B.C., and the surrounding region are also under a Peace River Regional District evacuation order due to the threat of the 1,900 hectare Boundary Lake fire. A third blaze, the 1,100-hectare Teare Creek wildfire about 700 kilometres to the south of the Boundary Lake and Red Creek fires, has forced the village of McBride to declare a local state of emergency.
