The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has made a complete lift of all evacuation alerts in 100 Mile House and its surrounding areas.
Communities are now open for regular business hours, local residents can return home, and economic activity can fully resume as normal.
Evacuation alerts are rescinded in the South Cariboo for the following areas:
- Forest Grove & 100 Mile Fringe North
- 100 Mile Southwest Davis Road Area
- Southeast Canim Lake, South Mahood Lake, Area L, &Â part of Area G
- North end of Lac La Hache to 100 Mile House Boundary
- Northwest of 100 Mile House
- District of 100 Mile House
The CRD says however, evacuations may be re-issued as wildfires continue to burn in the area, air quality remains poor, and additional areas remain on alert or order.
Residents are asked to be prepared in the event of a future evacuation order on short notice.
Local governments may not have time to go door-to-door should a new evacuation order be issued.
To ensure public safety, stay out of fire-affected areas and obey all warning and hazard signs.
