An evacuation ORDER for the Purvis Lake wildfire east of Takla Landing has been downgraded by the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN).
The lightning-caused blaze is under 2,300 hectares in size, but is now 80% contained by more than 120 firefighters and 23 pieces of heavy equipment.
However, an evacuation ALERT remains in effect for the following areas:
- Purvis Lake to Tchentlo Lake
- Tchentlo Lake Forest Service Road (FSR)
- South of Nation Lakes Park
- Intersection of the Leo Creek FSR and the Driftwood FSR
Residents can go home, but are asked to be prepared to leave again if conditions change at a moment’s notice.
This is the fifth evacuation ORDER rescinded within the RDBN in the last three days.
