US EditionLower Similkameen Indian Band Working with Local Fire Team and Region to Tackle Wildfires in Shared Zones - Oliver/Osoyoos News
- On Canada Day, the Lower Similkameen Indian Band collaborated with local fire crews and the regional government to address a wildfire near Cawston.
- This collaboration followed ongoing fire threats and unclear response boundaries in areas like Susap Creek, due to a fire south of Cawston in June and recent lightning strikes.
- Firefighters, including seven on scene with two engines and a water tender, joined BC Wildfire Service crews and used a night-vision helicopter to monitor hotspots and protect nearby structures.
- The fire, approximately 0.6 hectares in size and suspected to be human-caused, was declared extinguished by BCWS by 9:30 a.m. on July 2; Justin Smith noted they have "a little room to breathe now."
- The coordinated response and reminders for locals to report fire activity by calling *5555 suggest ongoing vigilance and cooperation to manage wildfire risks across shared jurisdictions.
