Fire Complex

This was the largest fire in area burned in BC. It consisted of many fires that merged into one, and/or which were so close to each other that they were managed together as a "complex" by a single Incident Management Team, with shared resources. This complex of fires evolved as follows:

Donnie Creek Complex, Prince George Fire Centre: Donnie Creek (G80280), West Conroy Creek (G80287) which was consumed by Donnie Creek, Katah Creek (G80274) which was consumed by Donnie Creek, Kahntah River (G81157) which was consumed by Donnie Creek, Klua Lakes (G90273), Muskwa River (G90292), Zaremba Creek (G80875), Beatton River (G81492), Milligan Hills (G81530), Fontas River (G81010) which was consumed by Hay River (G90628).
