In Wells, B.C., there's relief as residents return to the community after a nearby wildfire forced its evacuation last weekend, the district's mayor said.
"While we are experiencing a brief reprieve from the significant and aggressive fire conditions that we had over the last week and specifically since , we are expecting this pattern of cooler, more humid conditions to not last for more than a day or two," Wright said. Other evacuation evacuation orders related to the Antler Creek fire, covering Bowron Lake Provincial Park and the Barkerville area, were also downgraded to alerts on Friday.
Coleman said he would likely go on a helicopter tour of the region with the BC Wildfire Service to assess the damage this weekend. Speaking from an emergency operations centre in Quesnel, he said his attention remains on the returning residents. The service said in an update that"fire weather indices have decreased." But it said thunderstorms bringing rain across the Interior could also bring gusty winds that could fan flames.
