Wildfire evacuation orders and alerts that were issued Friday night in the north-central B.C. community of Hixon, near Prince George, have been rescinded.
The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George issued the notices at 9:45 p.m. PT on Friday, placing five rural properties on evacuation order and another five on alert, after the Naver Creek wildfire was discovered nearby.
All notices were rescinded Saturday at 5 p.m. PT.
However, in a statement, the district said the wildfire emergency is “still ongoing” and that residents should remain prepared in case the evacuation order or alert need to be reissued.
Fire activity in the province has been rising amid a dry spring, particularly for the northeast section of the province, where cell and internet service was temporarily cut in some areas on Friday.
Forty-four wildfires were burning in B.C. as of 7 p.m. PT Saturday, according to B.C. Wildfire Service. The Naver Creek wildfire was burning over an area of 70 hectares, approximately 54 kilometres south of Prince George.
