No reported growth on Bush Creek East wildfire in five days; North Shuswap residents prepare to return
KAMLOOPS — “You will certainly see in time the recovery that is needed. It is going to be years in the making,” Columbia Shuswap Regional District Information Officer Tim Conrad told CFJC Today Tuesday.
With residents in the Shuswap preparing to head home Wednesday (Sept. 6), 18 days after fire swept through their communities, they are returning to a place they may not fully recognize.
“They are going to get that as soon as they turn onto the road and start to head down there. It is significantly different than what they have left behind and it’s going to be a shock for a lot of people,” said Conrad.
