Thousands of evacuees from Princeton, 100 Mile House and surrounding areas in British Columbia are free to go home after evacuation orders were downgraded to alerts on Sunday. Al Richmond, with the Cariboo Regional District, said the fire in that area was 65 per cent contained and still being fought by firefighters. The Cariboo Regional District said people should be aware that air quality is still poor. If an #evacuation order is lifted, the area may still be on alert. Further north, an evacuation order for the Tzenzaicut Lake area — west of Quesnel — was downgraded to an alert just before 9:30 a.m. PT.
