Work continues on region’s two fires of note
The Bill Nye Mountain Wildfire, burning since about July 8 seven km southeast of Wasa, is now an estimated 1,918 hectares.
“On Tuesday evening, wind and terrain increased fire behaviour on the north flank, where planned ignitions on July 25 could not be completed, and caused the fire to move downslope toward Lazy Lake Road. This prompted an expansion of an evacuation order for properties in the area,” BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) July 28 reported.
“While structures are not immediately threatened, the BC Wildfire Service recommended the evacuation order due to the potential for the Lazy Lake Road to be impacted, which would affect access and egress to these properties.
