The BC Wildfire Service is rescinding the area restriction order surrounding the Pocket Knife Creek Wildfire.

This will take effect tomorrow (Saturday) at noon.

The area restriction was originally put in place on May 31st.

The BC Wildfire Service classified the fire as being held on June 17th, after a significant rainfall in the Peace Region put a damper on the blaze.

As of this morning, the fire, which is approximately 130 kilometres south of Fort Nelson, remains at 151,310 hectares in size.
