The Cook's Ferry Indian Band issued an evacuation order for IR #6 Nicoelton as well as an evacuation alert for IR #5, 5A and 19 on Tuesday, July 16 as two wildfires continue to burn out of control north of Spences Bridge.
Both fires are considered out of control, under 300 hectares and located between 5.5 and 7.5 kilometres away from Spences Bridge. "While BCWS, Cook's Ferry and the TNRD work closely together, Cook's Ferry and the TNRD are separate jurisdictions," noted Area I TNRD director Tricia Thorpe Wednesday morning."I expect there will be additional updates provided later this morning."
Environment Canada issued new heat warnings on Tuesday for Howe Sound and Whistler in the southwest of the province, bringing the total to more than 20 across B.C. stretching deep into the Interior and up to Terrace in the north.
