Evacuation Order issued for two properties due to fire
Given the current fire conditions, anticipated wind event, and recommendations of the BC Wildfire Service, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) has issued an Evacuation Order for two properties east of Saugum Lake, near the Bill Nye Mountain wildfire.
“One owner owns both properties affected by the order and is in regular contact with the BC Wildfire Service,” said RDEK Information Officer Loree Duczek.
“The Evacuation Alert for 53 properties in the Lazy Lake, Lakit Lake and Holmes Road area, including one property on Wildhorse Forest Service road remains in effect with no changes at this time. However, we are encouraging everyone within the Alert area to remain ready and prepared to leave on a moment’s notice should conditions worsen.”
