Sep 20, 2017 | 9:01 AM

KAMLOOPS — The Elephant Hill wildfire is no longer considered a threat to properties in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

As a result, the TNRD has lifted all evacuation alerts and the area is now considered “All Clear.”

Despite the change, area restrictions on Crown land remain.

Following a break in the weather, the 192,000 hectare fire is now 85 per cent contained.
