KAMLOOPS — The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) adjusted its evacuation orders and alerts Saturday (July 24) evening.

An evacuation order issued by the TNRD Emergency Operations Centre in Kamloops on July 21, due to the McKay Creek wildfire, was downgraded to an evacuation alert for three properties in the Bonaparte Plateau electoral area: 8410 Watson Bar Rd., 9180 West Pavillion Rd., and 9320 Empire Valley-Big Bar Rd.

The remaining properties are still on evacuation order.

Residents are encouraged to fill the gas tanks of their personal vehicles and bring a minimum of three days food and essential supplies as local grocery stores may not yet have adequate stock.
