People living near two wildfires west of Prince George can return to their homes more than a week after they were told to leave in the face of major wildfires. The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, on a recommendation from the BC Wildfire Service, has rescinded an evacuation order issued Sept. 6 as the Mount Wells fire spread.
That order affected 88 addresses. Another evacuation involved the Sabina Lake fire - smoke from which lingered over Prince George on the weekend of Sept. 7-8 - and involved 39 addresses.
That order has also been lifted. Emergency alerts for residents in the area can be received by signing up at www.rdbn.
