Aq’am First Nation near Cranbrook, B.C., loses homes to human-caused wildfire
A First Nation community in southeastern B.C. has lost homes because of a fast-moving wildfire, and Premier David Eby says the provincial and federal governments are teaming up to provide emergency response.
The Regional District of East Kootenay issued an evacuation order on Monday for 52 homes, and another 43 properties remain on evacuation alert. Hundreds of wildfires are burning in the province, fuelled by tinder-dry conditions promoted by weeks of drought. They join 75 others who were sent to nearby Vanderhoof as part of a federal response to the record-setting season.
