HUDSON'S HOPE, B.C. — An evacuation order for British Columbia's largest wildfire has been rescinded, though the BC Wildfire Service says the blaze remains out of control.
The Battleship Mountain wildfire in the Prince George Fire Centre is now estimated at more than 302 kilometers.
The fire in the northeast corner of the province led to an evacuation order for about 1,000 residents on Sept. 10, but the District of Hudson's Hope says that has been lifted. The BC Wildfire Service says the blaze about 50 kilometers west of Hudson's Hope was caused by lightning on Aug. 30.But it is reporting the Bearhole Lake fire, which is also located in the Prince George region, will be downgraded Sunday as cooler temperatures and rain continue to dampen the fire's activity.
