The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is now clear of all evacuation orders and alerts.
The Elephant Hill wildfire scorched approximately 186,000 hectares within the regional district, plus an additional 6,000 hectares in the Cariboo Regional District to the north.
The TNRD said the fire no longer poses a threat to people or buildings.
Despite the all-clear given by the regional district, the B.C. Wildfire Service’s open burning and campfire bans remain in place, as does an area restriction for Crown land in the vicinity of the Elephant Hill fire.
The off-road vehicle prohibition put in place for the Kamloops, Cariboo and Southeast fire centres by the wildfire service was rescinded as of noon on Wednesday.
