Some wildfire-related evacuation orders downgraded near Adams Lake, B.C.

A regional district in B.C.’s central Interior has downgraded evacuation orders related to a wildfire burning on the shores of Adams Lake, B.C.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) announced Saturday that residents of 92 homes can now return to their properties on the lake, 82 kilometres northeast of Kamloops.

Two concerning wildfires are burning on either side of the lake in the Shuswap region — the Bush Creek wildfire on the west shore, and the Lower East Adams Lake wildfire on the east shore.

While both fires were sparked on July 12, they both flared up last week, leading to dozens of people being told to leave their homes.
