Fort St. John Faces Wildfire Chaos

Brace yourself, folks! Firefighters from Fort St. John and the mighty BC Wildfire Service are wage war against a stubborn blaze that forced evacuations in the wee hours of Thursday night.

The city's official website posted a bulletin at 6:04 PM, warning inhabitants of the Fish Creek community forest north of the city to evacuate. Residents of Rose Prairie Road and the Jones subdivision were specifically told to head to the Pomeroy Sport Centre. Regrettably, no numbers were given on those uprooted from their homes or other nitty-gritty details.

According to the BC Wildfire Service's website, this inferno has been uncontrolled since its discovery on Thursday, engulfing an estimated 0.56 square kilometers by 7:32 PM. The suspected cause – you guessed it – human interference!

The fight against this beast is no solo-mission. Armies of firefighters from Fort St. John, Taylor, and Charlie Lake, backed by two helicopters and water bombers, are joining forces in the face of adversity.

British Columbia's Minister of Emergency Management, Kelly Greene, acknowledged the fire on her social media accounts, expressing concern for Fort St. John residents.

Hold onto your hats, folks, for this fire is just one of roughly 20 active blazes in British Columbia on Thursday. With a sizzling hot, dry climate and zippy winds, the South of the province is a tinderbox waiting for a match.

Not only does Fort St. John have to worry about this wildfire, but a second one, consuming a 1.85 square kilometer area approximately 30 kilometers southwest of Dawson Creek, is also running amok. Southern winds are nudging this fire towards Highway 52 North, also known as the Heritage Highway, which is moving along, albeit at a snail's pace between Brassey and Bearhole Lake roads.

Traffic, cellular, radio, and Internet services have taken a hit as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Tumbler Ridge, around 120 kilometers south of Dawson Creek, lost their fiber optic connection due to a forest fire. Anyone needing police assistance in the Tumbler Ridge region must deliver themselves personally at the detachment.

Three other fires in Dawson Creek's backyard have been tamed and classified as "controlled." Let's cross our fingers that they stay that way!

An earlier statement from the Ministry of Forests asked the public to postpone open burning until the winds die down and to exercise extra caution when camping in the wilderness.

Forest Minister Ravi Parmar warned that the weather conditions in the coming days could trigger a wildfire apocalypse across the province. This time of year carries the highest risk of human-started blazes, which, by the way, are mostly preventable.

Keep your eyes peeled for fire bans coming our way in the coming weeks.
