The community is about a 15-minute drive south of Fort St. John, flanked by large hills in a valley running alongside the Peace River. Old Fort is a small community of about 200 people in the Peace River District. The residents of Old Fort are being evacuated by boat and bus. Chidren play at a landslide near Old Fort, B.C.
