PRINCE GEORGE – The BC Wildfire Service is implementing an Area Restriction Order for the vicinity of the Big Creek Wildfire, located south of the Omineca Arm of Williston Lake and West of Kilometre 148 on the Finlay Forest Service Road. The size of the area restriction reflects the continued need to protect the public in areas with ongoing fire suppression activities and hazardous fire behaviour conditions. This order took effect at noon on August 23, 2023, and will remain in force until September 30, 2023, or until otherwise rescinded. The order applies to crown land within the geographic boundary shown on the map.
