Last of the evacuation orders downgraded in the TNRD

Sep 17, 2017 | 2:20 PM

KAMLOOPS — The remaining properties in the TNRD that had been on evacuation order have now been downgraded to an evacuation alert.  This means that no properties in our Regional District remain on Evacuation Order. 

Debbie Sell from the Emergency Operations Centre says while the fires are still burning, the danger has lessened to the point where these “orders” can be downgraded to “alerts”. But she warns that alerts still mean residents have to be vigilant and prepared to leave once again if conditions should change. 

Below is the list from the TNRD of the properties that were downgraded this afternoon from an “order” to an “alert”.

• 4989 North Bonaparte Rd.

• 2345 Bluegoose Rd.

Meanwhile, the Elephant Hill wildfire is now reported to be 70% contained, as crews take advantage of the cooler temperatures and a bit of precipitation to put guards around the blaze and bolster containment lines.

500 firefighters are still working on the blaze, aided by heavy equipment and 5 helicopters.
