Ainslie Creek wildfire: Evacuation orders downgraded in British Columbia

The Brunswick Complex, comprising the Ainslie Creek and Brunswick Creek wildfires, remains out of control in British Columbia. As of noon on Monday, August 24, the Ainslie Creek fire is estimated to cover 67,722 hectares, showing minimal growth due to cooler temperatures and increased humidity.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) has downgraded several evacuation measures. An evacuation order for 61 properties near Spius Creek, Petit Creek, and Prospect Creek has been downgraded to an evacuation alert. Additionally, an evacuation alert for 620 properties in Lower Nicola, Collettville, and on Coldwater Road has been downgraded to all clear. Approximately 58 properties in the Coldwater Road/Patchett Road area remain under evacuation orders.

In the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), an evacuation alert for Area B, spanning from Sawmill Creek to Dogwood Valley, has been rescinded. Highway 1 remains closed for a 39-kilometre stretch between Toll Road and Aspen Road. Suppression efforts continue with heavy equipment, aviation support, and crews working to strengthen control lines.
