At 4 o’clock this (August 10) afternoon the Cariboo Regional District Emergency Operations Centre partially rescinded that Evacuation Order issued on July 25 at 7 pm.

It was for 22 parcels and 8 house points covering 7198 hectares in the Gang Ranch area.

They said residents will be given as much advance notice as possible prior to evacuation however, you may receive limited notice due to changing conditions.
