Cobb is asking all residents to refrain from sprinkling their lawns tonight in Williams Lake in case the water is needed for fighting fires.
Cobb said the fires are not currently in the city, however city staff are preparing a communication centre for residents which should be up and running tonight.
They are working closely with the Cariboo Regional District.
Cobb urges everyone to fuel up their vehicles and be prepared to leave with short notice should the fires turn.
At this time the only evacuation routes would be either west or north. Please ensure to have water and food and gather your pets.
