Evacuation Order for Madias Creek Wildfire downgraded to alert
As crews continue to make progress on the Madias Creek Wildfire (N21398), the Evacuation ORDER that was enacted on July 22, has been downgraded to an Evacuation ALERT.
“With the great work that the RDEK Firefighters and BC Wildfire Crews have been putting in, the Order that was in place has been able to be downgraded to an Alert. Residents that are in the Alert area should stay prepared and be ready to leave on a moment’s notice should conditions change and an order needs to be re-issued,” said Regional Emergency Operations Centre Information Officer, Loree Duczek.
The Evacuation Order included 27 civic addresses in the Crooked Tree/Madias Creek area that were tactically evacuated yesterday afternoon.
The Evacuation Alert areas that were put in place by both the RDEK and the ʔakisq̓nuk First Nation Council on July 22 remain in effect.
