This morning at 11am the evacuation order for Gotchen Lake was fully rescinded. That fire has been holding at 350 hectares for a few days now, and I suspect it won't grow much further. As predicted, the direction of travel was away from Hendrix Lake (and Eureka Peak Lodge). It is still technically listed as "Out of control", but that should change in the coming days.
