The Evacuation alert for 926 properties in the Panorama area has been rescinded.

This also includes properties on Toby Creek Road southwest of Lillian Lake.

“We are grateful to all the individuals on the front lines and behind the scenes from BC Wildfire Service who have been working to protect the residents and the properties in the area of the Horsethief Creek wildfire through incredibly difficult conditions.”

The alert for 27 properties in the Lake Enid, Bear Mountain and Horsethief Creek areas is still in place.
