The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako has expanded an evacuation order in the area of the Torkelsen Lake wildfire.
The evacuation order now stretches from east of the Nilkitkwa FSR along the shore of Babine Lake, north of TSAK 9, and south of Smithers Landing.
Residents in the area are asked to leave immediately and make their way to the reception centre at the Smithers Christian Reformed Church at 4035 Walnut Drive, or to Terrace if you are in need of lodging.
You can find a detailed map of the evacuation area on the District’s website here.
