The chair of the board in British Columbia’s fire-stricken Thompson-Nicola Regional District says that for a lot of people, the wildfires burning in the area will be “one of the most traumatizing events” they’ll live through.
Barbara Roden told an online meeting with about 350 people to reach out for help if they need it, as properties remain under evacuation order across the region, including the village of Clinton, with no timeline for residents to return.
Clinton’s CEO Brian Doddridge says property owners will get calls over the next few days to inform them whether their home has survived the large the Pear Lake blaze.
Doddridge says the area’s watershed has been “severely damaged” and work is being done to see what effect that has had on water quality.
