The Township of Spallumcheen has once again issued an evacuation alert because of the White Rock Lake wildfire.
Located just northwest of Vernon, the township said it issued the evacuation alert based on recommendations from the BC Wildfire Service.
The township says the alert includes the western section of town between Rogers Mill and O’Keefe Ranch.
“This is the second time the properties have been put on alert as a result of the massive White Rock Lake Fire,” the township said, noting the initial alert was rescinded earlier this week.
“The alert means that residents have to be ready to flee at a moment’s notice and have a go and grab bag prepared with essentials such as clothing, toiletries, medications and important documents.
“You do not need to evacuate at this time. Wait for an evacuation order to be issued before you leave the area.”
