By Canadian Press on May 1, 2025.

FORT ST. JOHN — Firefighters from Fort St. John, B.C., and the provincial wildfire service are battling a blaze that the city says has prompted evacuations.

A bulletin on the city’s website says the fire is located in the Fish Creek Community Forest on the northern outskirts of the city.

The city has directed evacuees from Rose Prairie Road and the Jones subdivision area to proceed to the Pomeroy Sport Centre.

The BC Wildfire Service website indicates the out-of-control blaze was discovered Thursday and spans 56 hectares.

The suspected cause of the fire is human activity.

Kelly Greene, B.C.’s minister of emergency management, says in a social media post that she is aware of a fire “impacting” residents of Fort St. John.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 1, 2025.
