Logan Lake evacuation order lifted, residents to return home

Aug 19, 2021 | 11:34 AM

LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — One week after residents were forced to flee a raging wildfire, the people of Logan Lake are on their way home.

The district’s website says the evacuation order put in place Aug. 12 is rescinded as of 12:00 noon Thursday (Aug. 19).

Logan Lake was evacuated last Thursday when the Tremont Creek wildfire crept dangerously close to the northern boundary of the community.

Since then, firefighters — as well as the community’s FireSmart preparedness measures — have been working hard to keep structures safe.

The Tremont Creek fire has grown to 62,523 hectares after it was first discovered on July 12. That total has decreased due to more accurate mapping, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service.

Higher relative humidity readings, cooler temperatures and rainfall earlier this week have worked together to reduce fire activity on most wildfires throughout the region.
