Area restriction order for wildfire north of Vanderhoof

The Tezzeron Lake wildfire is nearing 7,000 hectares in size, burning more than 100 kilometres north of Vanderhoof.

Due to the speed of the blaze and expected dry conditions, the BC Wildfire Service has issued an area restriction order for the Crown land surrounding it.

This wildfire is listed as a ‘fire of note’ within the Prince George Fire Centre.

According to the Service, this is to protect public safety as the lightning-caused fire remains out-of-control.
