The Cook’s Ferry Indian Band has issued an evacuation order for its Nicoelton reserve as two wildfires burn north of Spences Bridge, B.C.
The band issued the order Tuesday"in the interest of life and safety," while it also put in place evacuation alerts for three more of its reserves.
The band says the Teit Creek and Shetland Creek wildfires pose an “imminent danger” to its Nicoelton reserve. A wildfire that flared up along the Trans-Canada Highway between Chilliwack and Hope, B.C., is now classified as"being held," and isn't expected to spread beyond its boundaries.The wildfire service says in its latest provincial situation report that hot and dry weather persists, and increasing winds later this week could increase fire activity.
Heat warnings continue for the Fraser Canyon, Okanagan Valley, Williams Lake, Kootenay Lake, Cranbrook and elsewhere.
