Part of situation: Pear Lake wildfire expands and evacuation orders downgraded (3 clusters)

British Columbia wildfires: Pear Lake and Ainslie Creek fires burn out of control FAST-MOVING

wildfires British Columbia evacuation orders Pear Lake wildfire Ainslie Creek wildfire

Major wildfires continue to burn out of control in British Columbia. The Pear Lake wildfire, estimated at 157,448 hectares, has merged with the Rim Lake wildfire after crossing the Bonaparte River. While evacuation orders for the Village of Clinton and 373 properties in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) Area E have been downgraded to alerts, approximately 80 properties in Area E remain under evacuation orders. Highway 97 through Clinton has reopened to travelers, though restrictions on stopping and exiting the highway remain in place.

Simultaneously, the Ainslie Creek wildfire is burning out of control between Highway 1 in the Fraser Canyon and Highway 5. The fire covers approximately 64,674 hectares and is pushing towards Highway 8 at Nooaitch and Highway 5. Highway 1 remains closed between Toll Road (Yale) and Aspen Road due to wildfire danger and falling debris. Heavy smoke is impacting visibility and limiting aviation suppression efforts in the region.
