Wildfire evacuation alerts were issued for two northern B.C. communities over the weekend, as multiple blazes sparked throughout the region.
The BC Wildfire Service says people living in the Endako area, about 170 kilometres west of Prince George, and those in the Burgess Creek area, about 45 kms southeast of Quesnel, should be prepared to leave in case conditions worsen.
The Endako fire was discovered on Saturday (April 20) and has grown to about 25 hectares in size.
