An expanded Evacuation Alert has been issued by the Peace River Regional District at the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC).
BC Wildfire Service has recommended an evacuation alert as a result of the Boundary Lake wildfire (G80220) and fire behaviour.
Evacuation Alert #3 replaces Evacuation Alert #2, and expands the previous Alert area to included areas that have been downgraded from an Order to an Alert. If you were previously only on Alert, you will remain on Alert at this time.
Because of the potential danger to life and health, the Peace River Regional District has issued an Evacuation Alert for the following areas:
- on the East to the Alberta Boarder to the north shore of Boundary Lake, to 5km east of the 211 Road to the 248 Road, to the east of the 213 Road from the Cecil lake road to Moose Creek Ave, and to the east of the Clayhurst Road from Moose Creek Ave to 1.2km north of the 240 Road, to the Alberta border.

- on the West 28.4km west if the Alberta border
- on the Southwest 18.4km west of Alces River.

An Evacuation Alert has been issued to prepare you to evacuate your premises or property should it be found necessary. Residents will be given as much advance notice as possible prior to evacuation; however, you may receive limited notice due to changing conditions.
