An evacuation order that was previously in place for the area around Norman Lake has now been downgraded to an evacuation alert as of 8 a.m. Sunday.
"Property owners in the evacuation order may once again return to their property, but are advised to prepare themselves for evacuation in the event the fire (Little Bobtail Lake fire) is deemed to threaten their property and/or personal safety," said the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George in a press release.
As of Saturday night, B.C.'s wildfire management branch said the 25,000-hectare fire is 80 per cent contained as quiet winds, cool temperatures and high relative humidity numbers helped fire suppression efforts.
However, the forest fuels are still very dry and the potential for it to increase is still there.
The RDFFG issued the evacuation order on May 10, affecting 80 people and 130 properties.
The evacuation alert area for Berman Lake, Bednesti Lake and the Dahl Lake Road area remains in effect.
