Favourable weather has helped conditions for two notable fires in BC’s Peace Region.
According to the BC Wildfire Service, the Pocket Knife Creek wildfire, roughly 204 kilometres north of Fort St. John, was brought down to being held, due to a significant amount of precipitation.
The 151,310 hectare fire was also removed as a Wildfire of Note yesterday (Thursday).
The Summit Lake wildfire, around 138 kilometres west of Fort Nelson, also received some precipitation which has helped slow down fire activity, but remains listed as out of control.
That fire is listed as 81,358 hectares in size.
The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality updated its Evacuation Alert for the surrounding areas yesterday.
The Kiskatinaw River wildfire, 60 kilometres south of Dawson Creek, also had its status changed to being held yesterday.
