Near Kamloops, crews continue to battle the 26-square-kilometre Ross Moore Lake wildfire, which triggered the evacuation of almost 350 properties
The BC Wildfire Service says smoke and challenging flying conditions have prevented accurate mapping of the blaze in mountains 10 kilometres west of Invermere and seven kilometres north of Panorama Mountain Resort.
People in more than 1,000 other properties, including the resort, have been told to be ready to leave on short notice. But the wildfire service says control lines are holding on the 41-square kilometre Cranbrook-area blaze, although evacuation orders and alerts are still posted.
