Northern B.C. wildfire nudges key northern highway, Island route still cut by flames
A key highway that connects Yukon and northern British Columbia to the rest of the province is now threatened by the huge Donnie Creek wildfire as the blaze chews through woodlands south of Fort Nelson.
Little rain from recent storms reached the Donnie Creek blaze Tuesday, but downpours around Dawson Creek calmed the nearly 200-square-kilometre Kiskatinaw wildfire, which remains out of control and within a few kilometres of the community of Tumbler Ridge, which was evacuated six days ago. A lengthy and challenging detour is being used to allow people and supplies to reach the stranded communities, but the narrow route is only meant to be used for essential travel.
