Extent of Loss Due to Big Bar Fires Becoming Clearer - Greenwood Boundary Creek Times
Damage assessments have identified structure loss on 120 properties, while crews coordinate temporary access and support for evacuated residents.
On Tuesday, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District reported that 120 properties in the Village of Clinton and TNRD Area E have suffered structure loss due to the Pear Lake and French Bar Creek wildfires.
The Pear Lake fire alone covers more than 100,000 hectares, creating dynamic conditions that vary significantly across the region as weather and fire behavior evolve daily.
Structure loss could include primary residences or outbuildings, with the majority of damage in Area E. The TNRD is contacting property owners directly with details about their individual situations and crew observations.
Access decisions are based on the latest safety information as the EOC coordinates with the Wildfire Service. Anyone needing temporary access must submit requests at least one day in advance.
Support agencies including the BC SPCA and Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team are available through the EOC. The TNRD Emergency Operations Centre can be reached at 250-377-7188 for assistance.
