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.
The Central Region is expected to plant 550,000 tree seedlings across the region as part of the Green Ghana Day, which is being marked today across the country.
