Another smoky skies bulletin has been issued for Prince George and the northeast regions of B.C., including Fort Nelson, the B.C. Peace region, Williston, McGregor and Yellowhead, due to wildfire smoke.
This smoke is travelling southward from fires north of Fort St. John, including the Donnie Creek, Red Creek and Stoddart Creek wildfires, as a result of the wind shift associated with the dry cold front that moved across the northeast yesterday afternoon.
Smoke and wind are expected to continue over the next 24-72 hours and updates will be posted to the B.C. Air Quality website.
Public is encouraged to monitor:
- The BC Wildfire Service public map for local fire conditions,
- The B.C. Air Quality website for current advisories and smoke forecasts,
- The FireSmoke Canada website for current smoke conditions,
- The DriveBC website for current road conditions and closures or delays due to visibility and/or wildfire, and
- The Government of Canada's weather information and public alerts website for local alerts and special weather statements.
