Update from RDKB EOC

EOC Wildfire update: Wednesday, 24 July 2024. 11:00 am

No new wildfires have been reported in the RDKB overnight. Of the nine fires within Area E, five fires are listed as under control, one is listed as being held, and three are listed as out of control. BC Wildfire has crews and heavy machinery working on the three remaining fires. We ask the public to stay clear of the wildfire areas and forest services roads to allow BCWS crews space to work.

The Jackson Creek fire southwest of Midway in Washington is now listed as 100% contained.

The EOC has not received any requests for Evacuation alerts or orders in the area and will continue to monitor the wildfire situation.
