B.C. Wildfire Services are responding to the MacLeod Creek wildfire, located approximately eight kilometres north of Nakusp on the east side of Highway 23.
A dumpster fire in Trail today, July 30, could have become a significant incident were it not for the early alert by witnesses and the rapid response from the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue.
Snowpacks in the Kootenays are considerably lower this June compared to last June, but the BC Wildfire Service says that doesn’t automatically mean this wildfire season will be worse.
