UPDATE: Evacuation alert continues for Incomappleux Valley properties as wildfire nears
BC Wildfire Service crews are monitoring the blaze as it grows to 266.52 hectares and remains near the Incomappleux Forest Service Road.
- Five properties in the Incomappleux Valley near Beaton remain under evacuation alert as the Johnson Creek wildfire continues burning out of control. The City of Revelstoke issued the alert on Sunday, August 9, following fire growth to 154 hectares.
- Identified three-and-a-half weeks ago on July 19, the lightning-caused blaze remains difficult to contain due to steep, forested terrain. Rappel crews have struggled to access the flames in this hard-to-reach valley landscape.
- Separately, an out-of-control wildfire on Sea Lion Mountain northeast of Golden has scorched 541 hectares, the BC Wildfire Service reports. The lightning-sparked blaze sits between the fringes of Yoho and Banff national parks.
- Officials have restricted public access to the Sea Lion Mountain area until October 15 to ensure safety during suppression efforts. Unauthorized entry under the Wildfire Act can result in violation tickets amounting to $1,150.
- Emergency crews continue monitoring fire activity as weather conditions like wind and temperature shifts influence burn rates across both regions. Residents in the alert area remain prepared to evacuate on short notice should conditions deteriorate.
