B.C. Wildfire Service evacuates parts of Fort Nelson, B.C., as wildfire moves in

The B.C. Wildfire Service said the evacuation of “multiple neighbourhoods” was under way in Fort Nelson late Friday, as an out-of-control wildfire threatened the town in the province’s northeast.

It said that in addition to wildfire service firefighters, members of the local fire department and the RCMP were responding. The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality said in a Facebook post that residents in the evacuation zone were to immediately muster at the town’s recreation centre and that other residents should avoid the area.
