Highway 1 Closure Near Hope Smaller Due to ‘Reduced Fire Impacts’
Drive BC said fire impacts have eased enough to reopen part of the route, but an 20-kilometre stretch remains closed and rockfall persists.
- Highway 1 has partially reopened in the Fraser Canyon, though a 20-kilometre stretch between Spuzzum Creek Road and Aspen Road remains closed as of Tuesday morning. Drive BC reported rockfall continues to periodically impact the route.
- BC Wildfire Service reported the 67,722-hectare Ainslie Creek wildfire and 9,266-hectare Brunswick Creek wildfire within the Brunswick Complex remain out of control. Fire behavior is expected to stay low on Tuesday due to mild winds and clear skies.
- Evacuation orders and alerts were partially downgraded by the Fraser Valley Regional District on Monday and Sunday, while the Thompson-Nicola Regional District similarly downgraded some properties due to decreased threat.
- Properties south of the Alexandra Bridge to Sawmill Creek and west of the Fraser River, including Spuzzum First Nation, were downgraded to evacuation alerts. Some residents have returned home over the past several days.
- Emergency Operations Centres for the FVRD and TNRD remain active to coordinate response efforts. Residents should monitor EmergencyInfoBC for updates on evacuation status and ongoing wildfire conditions.
