TNRD downgrades evacuation order for properties affected by Nohomin Creek wildfire
LYTTON, B.C. — An evacuation order for 24 properties in the Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) in response to the Nohomin Creek wildfire near Lytton has been downgraded to an evacuation alert.
In a news release Friday (July 29) morning, the TNRD says residents northwest of Lytton – west of the Fraser River, north of IR27 and south of IR9B, along Spencer Road – in the Blue Sky Country electoral area are able to return home. A separate evacuation alert remains in effect for 31 properties north of Lytton along Highway 12.
The move comes after BC Hydro announced it restored power to customers affected by the Nohomin Creek wildfire. TNRD residents who are returning home can access a re-entry package online or in person at the Cache Creek Emergency Support Services Reception Centre at 1270 Stage Rd.
