Wildfire-Related Evacuation Alert Cancelled for Areas Including Boston Bar
BC Wildfire Service said the risk to life and property had eased, though the Brunswick Complex fires remain out of control.
On Wednesday, the Fraser Valley Regional District cancelled an evacuation alert for Boston Bar, North Bend, Fishblue Lake, Canyon Alpine, Nahatlatch, and Scuzzy Creek FSR at BC Wildfire Service's recommendation.
Despite the Brunswick Complex—encompassing the 67,722-hectare Ainslie Creek and 9,266-hectare Brunswick Creek wildfires—remaining out of control, BC Wildfire Service determined risk to residents has sufficiently subsided.
Highway 1 remains closed for approximately 20 kilometres between Spuzzum Creek Road and Aspen Road, though portions have reopened due to reduced fire impacts according to Drive BC.
Residents may return home but should prepare for hazardous conditions including smoke, visible fire activity, and post-wildfire remnants such as debris and puffs of smoke, the FVRD warns.
Other evacuation orders for the Brunswick Complex remain in effect for properties between Alexandra Lodge and Alexandra Bridge and east of the Fraser River; the FVRD Emergency Operations Centre continues operations at 1-778-704-0400.
