FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Denny's restaurant in Fort St. John, B.C., ran out of burgers on Tuesday, a waiter said.
Rob Fraser, the mayor of the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, which includes Fort Nelson, pleaded for patience from evacuees as they settled in. Fraser said the fires burning near their community leave the future in the short-term"up in the air," and there is no solid timeline for when residents can return.
Patel said many didn't have money, identification or proper luggage, and the hotel, and many others in town, were full of evacuees. After the meeting Wednesday, Fraser said officials were able to answer peoples' questions, but residents were"anxious about coming back to the community.He told evacuees that it was by"the grace of God" that the Parker Lake wildfire, fanned by winds of 70 kilometres per hour, didn't sweep through the community of about 4,700 residents last Friday.
