The Brennan Creek Recreation Site on the west shore of Adams Lake remains closed to all users until further notice.

A 60-hectare prescribed burn will be conducted in the Winlaw Creek area to help reduce wildfire risks and restore local ecosystems.

Beginning June 1, 2018, the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development will begin deactivating up to 500 kilometres of permit roads located in BC Timber Sales operating areas, throughout the Quesnel Natural Resource District – weather permitting.

Restoring ecosystems is the goal behind two local prescribed burns in the Satellite Hill and South Fork areas.

The weather throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre is expected to be warm and breezy until the beginning of next week, with dry conditions persisting throughout most of the region.

With temperatures rising in northern regions of the province, the BC Wildfire Service is encouraging members of the public, and industry personnel, to exercise caution when doing any outdoor burning.
