This is the best summary I could come up with:
Wildfire Service (BCWS) says the fire is "highly visible" from the town, where approximately 3,400 people live according to the most recent census.
The BCWS website shows the fire burning west of Fort Nelson, 1,600 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, and says it is expected to spread beyond current control lines.
BCWS says the fire is being fought by ground crews and two helicopters that are bucketing water on the blaze, and air tanker support has been requested.
Rob Fraser, mayor of Northern Rockies Regional Municipality said earlier that residents are apprehensive of the "big dry storm coming through" this weekend.
"An Incident Management Team will be assuming command in the zone … and additional resources are on standby through the weekend," said a statement from the BCWS.
On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke at a news conference about the 2024 wildfire situation in B.C., and linked the severity of forest fire risks to climate change.
