An evacuation alert has also been issued by the regional district for two properties in Electoral Area B – District Lot 4359 and Lot 2 of District Lot 4360.

Wildfire officials said no structures are being threatened at this time, but assessments are being made to highlight “values in the area.”

“(There are) 11 ground personnel on site assessing safe, workable ground,” said Shaelee Stearns, a fire information officer at the Kamloops Fire Centre.

“(Some) portions of the fire are burning in steep, inaccessible terrain in high elevations, which is unsafe for crews to get to.”

Regional district staff said those affected should call the 24/7 Canadian Red Cross Disaster Assistance Line at 1-800-863-6582, if support is needed.

The district is also advising for people to monitor the BC Wildfire Service and Emergency Info BC twitter pages for updates.
