Wildfires near Akokli and Redding Creek have prompted an area restriction from the BC Wildfire Service, barring the public from entering the area.
The area restriction means that, as of noon on Wednesday, the public will only be able to enter and exit the vicinity for specific reasons, such as using the highway, travelling to and from your home, as long it is not under an evacuation order, or if you are helping firefighting efforts.
Restricted access stretches from the east shore of Kootenay Lake to the area where Redding Creek meets with Hall Lake Creek. From north to south, it runs from the Highway 31a junction with Gray Creek Forest Service Road (FSR) to Highway 3 at Sanca Creek.
