The city of Campbell River, B.C. has issued a mandatory evacuation order for four homes after heavy rain caused a slope to give way.

According to a news release from the city, the slope behind a home at 2211 Park Road gave way on Sunday morning, bringing down a tree that partially collapsed the home and caused it to shift from its foundation.

Two seniors were trapped inside, and were rescued by fire crews.
