The Regional District of Bulkley Nechako ordered more properties evacuated late Monday near two out-of-control fires in the Burns Lake area of central B.C., including a 3.5-square-kilometre blaze just east of the village, not far from Highway 16.
Evacuation orders and alerts were expanded Tuesday near several wildfires in B.C.'s northern regions as communities try to keep residents safe and the BC Wildfire Service battles an increasing number of fires.
B.C.'s emergency information website says about 150 people are out of their homes and hundreds more are on evacuation alert while the wildfire service handles nearly 330 active wildfires across the province, 47 of them sparked within the last 24 hours. Eby expressed gratitude toward firefighters from the United States and Mexico who are on the "frontlines" battling wildfires with B.C. counterparts.
