During a public information meeting held by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) about the status of wildfire, Mark Healey with the B.C. Wildfire Service said the George Road blaze (350 hectares) and the Lytton Creek blaze (8,732 hectares) have essentially joined.
“It’s not a bigger fire or taking up the tree canopy,” Healey stated. “It’s a slow-moving fire. It is burning within that watershed.”
Healey added it’s unknown is there is any water contamination at this time. He said their top priority is to move crews up Highway 1 and 12 where the fire is spreading, along with ensuring they stop it from spreading north and crossing the Fraser River. Healey said communication links and rail lines will need to be repaired.

LILLOOET, British Columbia A wildfire that forced people to flee a small town in British Columbia that had set record high temperatures for Canada on three consecutive days burned out of control Thursday as relatives desperately sought information on evacuees.
The roughly 1,000 residents of Lytton had to abandon their homes with just a few minutes notice Wednesday evening, after searing the previous day under a record high of 121.2 F (49.6 C).
The province’s public safety minister, Mike Farnworth, said Thursday afternoon that most homes and buildings in Lytton had been destroyed and some residents were unaccounted for.

Until this week, âCanadaâs hot spotâ might have seemed like a charming nickname for Lytton, British Columbia, a tiny town where summer temperatures soar.
But after a week of tragedy, the tagline has an ominous edge. Lytton broke successive Canadian heat records early this week, with temperatures peaking at 121 degrees (49.4 Celcius) on Tuesday afternoon. Then the fires swept in.
A wildfire burns in the mountains north of Lytton. A fire earlier swept through the town.Â
