The Cariboo Regional District Emergency Operations Centre has lifted the Browntop Mountain Area Evacuation Alert.
The alert was originally issued on July 22nd, at 1:00pm, affecting 316 parcels east of Likely.
They said an Evacuation Alert or Order may need to be reissued, and if it’s deemed necessary, the process will re-commence, and residents need to be prepared if it happens on short notice.
Those returning are asked to stay out of fire affected areas and obey all warnings and hazard signs to ensure public safety.
For rural properties that have been impacted by wildfire, residents should be aware there may be danger trees in the area.
Poor air quality may remain as a result of smoke from nearby fire activity, and those with respiratory issues, small children, and the elderly should consider this before they choose to return.
More information about the Evacuation Alert can be found on the Cariboo Regional District’s website here.
