An Area Restriction has been put in place for the Alces River wildfire located in the Fort St. John Fire zone.
According to the BC Wildfire Service, the size of the area reflects the need to protect the public in areas where there’s ongoing fire suppression efforts, and hazardous fire behaviour conditions.
The wildfire is currently listed as out of control, and is 1,851 hectares in size.
Those that fail to comply with the restricted area requirements may result in a violation ticket of $1,150.
The restriction will remain in place until October 15th, or when the order is rescinded.
