Description
July 12, 2021
Some good news for evacuees of the Thomas Creek wildfire in the South Okanagan. The construction of a containment line and wind direction have allowed the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen to rescind the evacuation order for 77 properties near the blaze. As Klaudia Van Emmerik reports, the residents can return home but they remain on an alert and must be ready to flee again if needed.
