The wildfire service says about 380 fires are burning across B.C., including 22 rated as highly visible or threatening ‘fires of note’
An evacuation order covering hundreds of properties south of Kamloops, B.C., has been scaled back to an alert as crews make good progress containing a wildfire about 10 kilometres south of the city.
The blaze is still listed as out of control, but guards are being built and an additional 40 firefighters were expected through the day to focus on areas needing mop up and patrol. George Harvie, chair of the organization that acts for roughly two dozen local governments and First Nations on the inner south coast, said use of treated drinking water remains higher than average among Metro Vancouver’s residents.
