A "small percentage of the population" is making the work of firefighters more difficult than it already is, according a deputy regional fire chief in the Columbia Shuswap area.
The regional district says Willowbrook residents should restrict their water use. This will ensure water is available for fire crews battling the Upper Park Rill Creek wildfire.
The Upper Park Rill Creek blaze southeast of Okanagan Falls was still estimated at 1,090 hectares – the same size it was Friday evening.
Search-and-rescue boats will be available at the Scotch Creek wharf and will transport people across the lake, where buses will be waiting.
Fire chief Travis Whiting said with the winds dying down, and not fanning the fire as much, he doesn’t want to see people underestimating the weather.
