Evacuation Alert issued for Glen Vowell lifted, as wildfire threat diminishes
As the threat recedes, residents who registered for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s mass notification system are expected to receive updates about the cancellation and the improving conditions.
The BC Wildfire Service had informed the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and First Nations bands about the 30-hectare wildfire burning just two kilometres west of the Sik-E-Dakh community, initially prompting the alert. The wildfire, suspected to have been caused by lightning, was first detected on July 11.
Emergency measures, including a hotline for displaced residents at 641-2443 set up by Emergency Support Services, will remain active to provide assistance as needed. Despite the cancellation of the Evacuation Alert, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine continues to urge residents to remain vigilant during the wildfire season, to stay informed about potential risks and to keep emergency plans updated.
