VICTORIA – Premier John Horgan is travelling throughout the central Interior to meet with first responders who are fighting some of the more than 500 wildfires burning across the province.

Horgan made a stop in Prince George, where shelter has been arranged for more than 2,000 evacuees ordered out because of an 850-square-kilometre blaze threatening an area from Fraser Lake to Fort St. James.

Horgan will be at the Northeast Regional Emergency Operations Centre on Westwood Drive this morning. There will also be a live stream on Horgan’s Facebook page.

He’s also expected to travel to Burns Lake where three fires that are out of control have forced evacuation orders and alerts to the east, south and southwest of that village.
