TNRD residents near Petit Creek fire prepare for potential evacuation
MERRITT — “It’s as scary as it’s ever been.”
Noreen Cross has lived in her house along Highway 8 for 17 years. Now, the nearby Petit Creek Wildfire is threatening to force her out.
“You could see that the smoke was going reddish at times,” she said, “but mostly, it didn’t seem like there were any flames, but that’s just because of the angle I guess. And, at nighttime of course, flames show up a lot more.”
