Effective at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015, the area restriction order currently in place for the Wood Lake wildfire will be rescinded due to reduced fire activity.

Management of the forest service roads in this area will be undertaken by the Chilliwack Natural Resource District. More information is available on the district’s website at: www.for.gov.bc.ca/dck  (see “Highlighted Topics, Forest Service Road and Recreation Site Closures and Notices” near the top of the page).

Recreationalists who choose to access the area near the Wood Lake fire are reminded of post-wildfire hazards that may be present, including danger trees (trees whose roots or branches were damaged by the wildfire), falling debris and an increased risk of soil movement during or after a rainfall.
