More residents are allowed to return home on the North side of Francois Lake thanks to firefighting efforts on the Nadina Lake wildfire.
The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) has lifted its evacuation ALERT in its entirety for three local roads, including:
- Glacier Forest Service Road (FSR)
- Parrott FSR
- Mount Colley Road
The 86,000-hectare blaze, located 40 kilometres southwest of Burns Lake, is 40% contained with more than 100 firefighters maintaining a close eye on the flames.
This is a farmland-heavy area and the RDBN is advising those with animals and other evacuated livestock to call one of their agriculture specialists about proper re-entry.
The RDBN is continuing its evacuation ORDER and ALERT for the south side of Francois Lake at this time (see map below).
