The rehabilitation of Crown land impacted by wildfire suppression activities in the Nadina Natural Resource District has been underway since September 2018 and will continue into 2020.

The BC Wildfire Service is burning slash piles in several areas within the Nadina Fire Zone to help prepare the sites for reforestation in the spring of 2018.

Smoke originating from large wildfires south of Vanderhoof and west of Quesnel has been visible in the Nadina Fire Zone and in areas around Burns Lake today. This smoke is expected to linger in the area for the next few days.

An area restriction order that's been in effect near a fire burning south of the Chelaslie River, including sections of Entiako Provincial Park, is being amended effective immediately to increase public access to those areas and reopen some forest service roads.

The B.C. government welcomed the news that Hampton Affiliates Ltd. is committed to rebuilding its Babine Forest Products mill in Burns Lake.
