VICTORIA — The out-of-control fire near Boston Bar, B.C., has triggered a second evacuation order.
The Boothroyd Indian Band issued the order Sunday morning after the Fraser Valley Regional District had issued an evacuation order for residents living in the North Bend area.
Officials detected the Brunswick Creek fire on July 2 and it has since grown to 100 hectares and is believed to have been sparked by human activity.
The two evacuation orders mainly cover areas along the western side of the Fraser River near Boston Bar, which lies on the eastern side of the river.
