It follows the lifting of another evacuation order for properties east of Highway 97, but the district says people should be prepared to leave again on short notice. An update from the BC Wildfire Service says the wildfire accounts for about 62 per cent of the total area burned in the province so far this season.
A fire that forced the closure of a key highway connecting communities on the west coast of Vancouver Island has meanwhile been declared under control, and the province says it’s on track to reopen to single-lane alternating traffic this weekend.
