LAST CHANCE FOR OUR 2015 CIVICS
A wildfire has forced residents out of their home and closed off Westside Road. Westside Road is closed in both directions between Denison Road and La Casa because of a lightningcaused fire and no detour is available. An evacuation order is in place for 70 homes along Westside Road as a result of the flare-up Monday of the Shelter Cove blaze. On Tuesday afternoon, the fire was 300 hectares in size and was being tackled by North Westside and Wilson’s Landing firefighters and crews from the B.C. Wildfire Service. La Casa Resort is not under an evacuation order or an alert. As of Tuesday, the fire led to electricity being out for 1,400 customers, including many who are not part of the evacuation order.
Evacuees flee Bolean Lake blaze RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The owner of a Falkland area resort is trying to remain optimistic despite a raging wildfire. Sandra Martens and four guests were forced to evacuate from the Bolean Lake Lodge as a lightning-caused fire gained strength Monday night. “I saw the cutblock at the end of my lake go poof,” said Martens, who is now staying at a Falkland motel.

With future fire activity uncertain, some advance preparations are being taken in Falkland, including firefighters ready for the possibility of structural protection. Twenty-three firefighters have been on the ground and helicopters have been bucketing water. A request was put in for tankers to join the fight. “The winds are definitely a concern and it’s spotting which challenges fire suppression,” said Kelsey Winter, an information officer with the B.C. Wildfire Service. The northeast flank is burning slash and juvenile forest. CSRD was setting up a sprinkler/pump unit at the Bolean Lake Lodge Tuesday. “It can sprinkle the structure and protect it,” said Nitchie. Updates on the fire can be found at www. sepadvisory.ca
