3 uncontrolled wildfires near B.C.-Alberta boundary force evacuations
Three separate out-of-control wildfires burning near the boundary between British Columbia and Alberta, including two in the Peace River region, have prompted evacuation orders and an alert.
The evacuation order covers 61 homes in the region, and residents are advised to evacuate the area immediately to Fort St. John to access Emergency Support Services. The evacuation order of the Boundary Lake wildfire — located about 670 kilometres northwest of Edmonton — has been expanded “as a result of aggressive fire behavior.”
The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George has ordered all residents of properties north of McBride Highway 16 and along Mountain View Road north of the Fraser River to immediately evacuate the area.
