TNRD downgrades evacuation alert for properties near Logan Lake wildfire (Kamloops)
The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has lifted evacuation alerts for several properties near Logan Lake following a wildfire that sparked concerns last week. The alert, initially issued due to a wildfire in the Guicho area west of the lake, was reduced as conditions improved. Residents who were evacuated were allowed to return home after officials assessed the situation and determined the area was safe.
The wildfire, which began in the Guicho region, prompted authorities to issue evacuation orders to approximately seven properties. The regional district monitored the situation closely and decided to ease the alert after the fire was contained. Local residents expressed relief at the news, with many returning to their homes earlier than expected.
Authorities continue to monitor the area to ensure no new threats emerge. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has not issued further alerts at this time, but remains prepared to respond to any changes in conditions. (castanet.net)
