Recent activity on the Sparks Lake fire has also moved the fire farther south, through the northeast corner of the Skeetchestn Indian Band reserve lands, forcing the majority of band members to evacuate, according to a news release issued by the band on Tuesday afternoon. The Skeetchestn band has put together a dedicated response team of more than 75 members to help fight the fire. It includes band members, band staff members and non-band members and is working with the BC Wildfire Service to keep the fire at bay as it encroaches deeper into the Deadman River Valley. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has issued evacuation orders for 170 properties surrounding the fire. Another 704 properties are on evacuation alert, ready to leave should the blaze change direction.
