With wildfires blazing across the province and an evacuation alert issued for 100 Mile House, Prince George Mayor Lyn Hall says the Northern Capital is ready to take in evacuees if necessary.
According to Hall, around 60 evacuees from the Yekooche Lake area fled to PG in the last 10-12 hours.
“We’ve been prepared since 2017 when we had 10,000 evacuees here and our emergency operations centre has mobilized we’re at level one right now and prepared to move at a moment’s notice. We’re ready to go. We’re ready to welcome evacuees if need be,” he said.
