CACHE CREEK — More evacuation orders and alerts are in place for properties in B.C.’s south Cariboo region as the massive Pear Lake wildfire continues to grow.

Four additional properties are under an expanded evacuation alert to the south, where more than 1,500 properties in the Bonaparte Plateau remain under alert.
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District says its updated evacuation order and alerts now cover more than 100 properties in the Pavilion and Marble lake areas.
