The Mayor of British Columbia ’s Northern Rockies Regional Municipality says four homes have been lost and six other properties have been damaged by a wildfire that forced the evacuation of Fort Nelson more than a week ago.
The mayor says there’s been no official word on when it will be safe for residents to return as the BC Wildfire Service waits until it’s certain that the Parker Lake wildfire is “burning away from the community.” “I’m very anxious. I mean, this is the start of a potentially really long season,” Fraser said Sunday. “We’re surrounded by fire, we’re surrounded by heat in this community and we’re in a stage five drought.”
The Patry Creek wildfire to the north of the town doesn’t pose an immediate threat, but the municipality warned the situation could change rapidly in the event of strong northerly winds.
