The latest wildfire evacuation order in B-C is in Shuswap where the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District says 39 people were ordered out of an area near Seymour Arm on the northern edge of Shuswap Lake early this morning.
The tiny rural community of Seymour Arm remains on evacuation alert, threatened by the 11-square kilometre Hunakwa Lake fire.
This morning’s evacuation adds to the several residents ordered out yesterday north of Lillooet, north of Kamloops and in the Slocan and Lower Arrow Lakes regions of the Kootenays.
They come as the B-C Wildfire Service warns strong winds will complicate today’s efforts to tame fires across the southern half of the province.
