A fast-moving wildfire on the edge of the City of Williams Lake in British Columbia’s central Interior triggered evacuations as water bombers swooped low over the community over the weekend.

But the director of the community’s emergency operations centre says residents have since been told they can go home after the tactical evacuations conducted by Mounties on July 21.
