The Donnie Creek wildfire’s size is larger than the overall amount of hectares burned in the province last summer, according to the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS).
Several rural properties in northern B.C. have been ordered to evacuate as the Donnie Creek wildfire continues to spread, while the Klua Lakes wildfire to the north has also triggered evacuation orders.
The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) said Friday that crews don't expect any concerning fire activity from any of the wildfires in the North Peace Complex over the weekend.
