An Evacuation Order has been issued by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District Emergency Operations Centre.

A wildfire event located North-East of Lytton is threatening structures and the safety of residents in Electoral Area “I” (Blue Sky Country).

Because of the potential danger to life and safety, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District has issued an evacuation order for 6 properties addressed as: 

• 5245 to 5997 Lytton-Lillooet Hwy 12; and
• any other properties located within the area noted on the attached map.

If you are in the described area, you must leave immediately.

If you have been evacuated due to wildfires, you should register with Emergency Support Services (ESS) whether you need the support or not. This will help ensure that your loved ones and communities know where you are and know that you’re safe.

If your primary residence has been evacuated we recommend you arrange to stay with friends or family.  If you cannot stay with friends or family, please report to Chilliwack Senior Secondary School, 46363 Yale Rd, Chilliwack to complete the ESS registration. The reception centre will be open at 0830 hrs on August 7, 2021.

Emergency Support Services will only be provided if your primary residence is one of the properties under evacuation order.

Self-register online at ess.gov.bc.ca. If you require assistance with self-registration you can ask for help by calling the Emergency Support Services Info Line: 1-800-585-9559

Tip: After you register, you may receive calls from unlisted numbers regarding your evacuee registration. Make sure your voicemail box is not full so ESS volunteers can leave a message.
