KAMLOOPS — Three weeks after the Elephant Hill wildfire, formerly known as the Ashcroft Reserve wildfire, was sparked, the evacuation order for the community of Boston Flats, which was devastated by the fast-moving flames, has been lifted.

All but three of the 60-unit mobile home park was completely destroyed by the fire, which was ignited on July 6th, forcing residents there to flee to Kamloops for shelter.

Many have been staying with friends in nearby Cache Creek since its evacuation order was lifted last week. The TNRD is now handing over responsibility to the property owners.
