The city is expecting at least one or two more groups of evacuees to arrive in Prince George before the fire season is over.
City of Prince George emergency management staff are expecting at least one or two more groups of wildfire evacuees to arrive in Prince George before the end of the wildfire season.
“We anticipate this is going to be a long, hot summer,” Spooner said. “We are active. We are ready for anyone who needs to come here.” People who have “self-evacuated” while under an alert may be eligible for supports, if there are extenuating health or other circumstances, Spooner added. Currently, the emergency reception centre is open from noon to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, Spooner said, but the hours will vary depending on the need. The centre will stay set up until the end of the fire season, but may not always be open and staffed.
