Environment Canada is forecasting extremely hot temperatures this weekend for the Cache Creek area, with highs of 39 C to 41 C.
WATCH: The Thompson-Nicola Regional District confirms several structures have been burned by the Shetland Creek blaze in the nearby Venables Valley. As Troy Charles reports, the fire is expected to worsen in the coming days.
“That fire increase was due to sustained winds being quite aggressive, driving the fire to the north,” BC Wildfire Service information officer Morgan Blois told Global News. “It’s providing a lane for the fire to move in; when that wind gets in there, it’s pushing it quite rapidly.” DriveBC also issued a notice that said the Trans-Canada Highway may be closed because of wildfire concerns.Air Canada ordered to pay family of 5 separated on ‘traumatizing’ flight
