Almost 2,500 square kilometres of land was burning in the southeastern part of B.C., Desrosiers said. About five per cent of the fires were caused by human activity while the rest were attributed to lightning, Desrosiers said, noting 40 per cent of fires in an average year are linked to humans while lightning is to blame for the remainder. There were 58 evacuation orders in place by late Friday afternoon affecting more than 5,000 properties. Almost 17,500 properties were on evacuation alert, meaning those residents were told to be ready to leave on short notice. Evacuation alerts covering the resort municipality of Sun Peaks and several surrounding areas north of Kamloops were lifted as crews worked to contain a nine-square kilometre blaze. Elsewhere, an evacuation order posted earlier this week in southeastern B.C. for nearly 200 properties along the Slocan River was downgraded to an alert for most residents.
