A wildfire in British Columbia’s Fraser Canyon continues to burn out of control, but it is no longer considered a fire of note, with the wildfire service saying the change is due to the reduced threat of it spreading and the downgrading of evacuation orders.
Still, the BC Wildfire Service says its crews continue to work on suppressing the Brunswick Creek blaze on the west side of the Fraser River.
On the other side of the river, the Ainslie Creek blaze is one of three remaining fires of note, with an evacuation alert covering about 280 properties in the Nicola Valley and an evacuation order for 61 properties along Highway 5 southwest of Merritt, B.C.
In the south Cariboo, the Village of Clinton, B.C., has rescinded an evacuation alert for much of the community, but it remains in effect for some properties due to the increased risk of flooding related to the massive Pear Lake blaze.
