Evacuation orders for people in the TNRD living near the Nohomin Creek wildfire near Lytton have now rescinded.

It’s expected the Lytton First Nation is expected to follow in their footsteps, meaning over 100 people displaced by the fire should be able to get back into their homes this weekend.

This comes as the fire continues to burn away from populated areas, and is now pegged at over 30-square kilometers in size.

Karley Desrosiers with the BC Wildfire Service says the fire continues to grow to the northwest, into the Stein Valley Provincial Park.

She adds that trying to contain the fire’s growth in that area is difficult, because they can’t get ground crews in there.

“It is a difficult scenario where a person is inaccessible to personelle and also heavy equipment, so that is not an option in several sections of that fire, especially in steep areas. That being said, we have had helicopters bucketing pretty consistently.”

“The southern end of the fire is quite quiet, we have an aerial scan that will be happening in the coming days here, so little to no activity that we know of.”

She suggests crews are cleaning up any remaining hot spots on the both the south end and the north.

“No activity there either really, we have crews, building a fuel spree up along that western edge of the far north tip of the fire.”

Meantime, fire investigators have now determined the Nohomin Creek Wildfire was “human caused,” though the exact manner in which it got started, is yet to be determined.

This comes as the wildfire risk across B.C.’s Interior is in the high to extreme range yet again, as more and more spot fires continue to pop up across the Kamloops Fire Centre.
