Kiskatinaw River Wildfire (G70422) – Public Update – June 07


BC Wildfire Service updates that, currently, there no reported losses to primary structures in the Community of Kelly Lake. First responders remain in place and continue to work tirelessly to protect the community and critical infrastructure wherever it is safe to do so.

Wind conditions remain volatile, with sustained winds of 30–50 km/h, and gusts up to 75 km/h forecast to continue through the weekend. These conditions are contributing to aggressive fire behaviour and will continue to challenge suppression efforts.

With advice from BC Wildfire Service, Evacuation Alerts and Evacuation Orders were expanded on June 06.

Evacuation Alerts and Evacuation Orders remain in effect. If you are under an Evacuation Order, you must leave immediately. If you are under an Alert, please be prepared to leave on short notice. Evacuation Orders are recommended by BC Wildfire Service when there is a threat to people, homes, or critical infrastructure. These decisions are made proactively with your safety—and the safety of responders—as the top priority.

To see if your property is under an Evacuation Alert, go to the online map tool and enter your address in the search bar at the top.
