The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has lifted its final evacuation orders due to the Shetland Creek wildfire in British Columbia's southern Interior.
The fire that's now classified as"being held" within its current or predetermined perimeter was discovered July 12 and grew quickly, prompting the district to issue evacuation orders covering about 100 properties over the next few days. The number of out-of-control wildfires continues to drop across the province on the heels of a cold front bringing rain and fall-like temperatures to many areas.
B.C. government officials are set to provide an update on the wildfire and drought situation in the province later Wednesday.
