WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. – The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has downgraded the evacuation order to an evacuation alert for the Hell Raving Creek Area.

Residents, who have been under evacuation order since September 15, are allowed to return to their homes. However, CRD is reminding about danger tress in wildfire affected areas.

“Danger trees on Crown Land will be dealt with by the BC Wildfire Service danger tree fallers. Home owners and private land owners are recommended to work with an insurance agency to have an assessment done by a qualified arborist,” the district stated.

CRD is also reminding residents that wildfires are still active in the area. People on evacuation alert must be prepared to evacuate on short notice.
