Emergency service for wildfire evacuees in northeastern B.C. extended

  • The Peace River Regional District has prolonged emergency support until June 8, 2025, for individuals displaced by the wildfire near the Kiskatinaw River in northeastern British Columbia.
  • The extension followed an evacuation order issued for approximately 70 residents of the Kelly Lake community due to dry, windy conditions and unpredictable fire behavior.
  • The wildfire, which spans approximately 30 square kilometres near the boundary between B.C. And Alberta just below Dawson Creek, remains the only significant active fire in the province, with ongoing efforts to suppress it.
  • Helicopters are dropping water to slow the fire spread and improve safety, while highways remain partially or fully closed due to fire activity and containment lines are being built.
  • The ongoing fire activity suggests potential for further growth, and evacuees are advised to seek support in person at the Dawson Creek ESS centre amid about 60 active wildfires in B.C.
