Evacuation Alert for East Kootenay Wildfire, Brunswick Creek Fire Grows: Officials – Energeticcity.ca
A 100-hectare wildfire triggered the alert as crews battled dry conditions and strong winds, officials said.
- On Saturday, July 11, the Regional District of East Kootenay issued an evacuation alert for 72 properties near Premier Lake after the Lussier River fire grew to 100 hectares.
- RDEK Information Officer Loree Duczek said officials issued the alert due to dry conditions and limited access, with only one road in and out of the area.
- The Regional Emergency Operations Centre has opened to assist residents, and the alert area extends approximately six kilometres north and 2.5 kilometres west of Premier Lake.
- This notice follows alerts near Boston Bar in the Fraser Canyon, as the Wildfire Service reports one of two fires in that region has grown since Friday.
- Wildfires are flight-restricted areas, and the Wildfire Service warns violations can result in fines of up to $25,000 and up to 18 months in prison.
