Fast-growing fire near Kamloops prompts evacuation alerts and orders
A fast-moving wildfire that has prompted evacuation orders and alerts in and around the Kamloops area expanded rapidly to 18 square kilometres in size on Sunday as it moved closer to the city limits.
“We’re working with the communities to ensure that the areas that are needing to be evacuated are the ones that are targeted as much as possible, not only through alerts, but also through our door to door evacuation efforts and so forth,” she said. All 100 Brazilian firefighters arrived Friday and are attending briefings before being deployed to the Prince George Wildfire Centre, she said.
