Alexis Creek Evacuation Order Lifted

Williams Lake Tribune is reporting on their website (http://www.wltribune.com/) that the Evacuation Order for the Alexis Creek area, due to a wildfire burning nearby, was lifted at 11:00am this morning. The wildfire at Eagle Lake that forced the evacuations at Alexis Creek is now 100% contained

Update: From Cariboo Regional District

People living in or travelling through the affected areas should use caution as some hazards, such as dangerous trees or hot spots, may still exist. Please be aware that fire fighters will still be working in the area and access will still be monitored by RCMP until evacuees have returned home. The State of Emergency remains in effect and Highway 20 west of Anahim Lake remains closed until further notice due to the fire nearby at Bella Coola
