WILDFIRE FORCES MORE EVACUATIONS IN B.C.
An evacuation order affecting about 1,100 people living east of Kelowna, B.C., is in effect because of a nearby wildfire. The BC Wildfire Service says the blaze was reported shortly after 1:30 p.m. Thursday and quickly grew to about 380 hectares in size. Elsewhere, calmer weather and continuing progress battling other B.C. wildfires means more people can return home while campers and hikers will be able to access more of the backcountry.
