A 4,300 hectare wildfire has spread beyond the boundary of Tweedsmuir Park on the Cariboo Plateau, officials confirmed Saturday.
The Precipice wildfire is burning about 52 kilometres east of Bella Coola.
The lightning-caused fire started on July 7.
“As of the afternoon of Aug. 5, this fire covered about 4,300 hectares and had spread beyond the park boundary,” said a BC Wildfire Service release.
Firefighters continue to work in challenging conditions, including a lack of road access, plenty of forest fuel and smoke that has impeded aircraft operations.
An evacuation order for several cabins and homesteads on the Cariboo Plateau was expanded July 10.
“On Aug. 3, wind activity pushed the fire eastward and the BC Wildfire Service recommended that the local government consider issuing an evacuation alert for a larger area.
“The Cariboo Regional District has now issued an evacuation alert for the Anahim Lake, Charlotte Lake and Nimpo Lake areas.”
To report a wildfire, columns of smoke or an open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.
