Quesnel, B.C. – The Cariboo Regional District has expanded the evacuation alert for the area south and west of Quesnel to Tatelkuz Lake.

This alert replaces the evacuation alert for the Nazko, Batnuni, Tatelkuz area issued earlier today and the evacuation alert for the area south of Quesnel and west of the Fraser River issued July 28.

This alert has been prompted due to the Tautri Complex wildfire and the wildfire four kilometres north of Baezaeko River (see a map of the affected areas below).
