About 260 residents who were ordered to leave Friday because of the Wilson Mountain (Oliver N.) fire were allowed to go home Saturday.

An evacuation order for another 100 residents, however, remains in effect due to the Testalinda Creek Oliver S.) fire.

Provincial officials said Saturday the situation appeared less severe than it was a day earlier, as temperatures had dropped and winds decreased.

“The fire activity out there this morning has been quite a bit milder than what we were seeing last night,” said Kevin Skrepnek, chief fire information officer for the B.C. Wildfire Service, who said multiple structures in the area have been burned.

“Certainly, there’s still a lot of work to do out there. The fire at this point is zero per cent contained, but we’re not seeing that incredibly aggressive wind event that came through the area yesterday,” he added.
