Evacuation orders lifted for Kiskatinaw wildfire in northeast B.C.
The Peace River Regional District has cancelled four evacuation orders and one alert for properties near a wildfire that is burning out of control in northeastern British Columbia.
The Kiskatinaw River blaze is currently listed as more than 266 square kilometres in size and classified as one of the three so-called wildfires of note in the province.
The district says the region does not need to remain on evacuation order and residents are cleared to go home, but it has issued an evacuation alert for some properties threatened by the fire and it encourages people to remain prepared to leave if conditions change.
It says an official BC Wildfire area restriction, which limits public access for safety during ongoing fire suppression work, remains in place.
