The fire is not expected to spread beyond its current boundaries
The Township of Spallumcheen and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District have ended evacuation alerts for the wildfire that's been burning northwest of Armstrong since Aug. 4.
The wildfire has not yet been declared out by BC Wildfire Service, so residents are advised to stay informed and prepared. "Managing an emergency situation is not an easy thing and requires the help and assistance of many. We appreciate the support our community received from people but also from the community as a whole who pulled together to help ensure everyone got home safely," the Township said. Until the fire is out, BC Wildfire Service says people can expect to see intermittent smoke over the coming weeks as the fire finds pockets of unburnt fuel from within its perimeter at high elevation.
