Security patrolling area of Shuswap on evacuation order ‘taunted by boaters’ - Terrace Standard

As of Tuesday, Aug. 8, evacuation orders issued in response to the Lower East Adams Lake and Bush Creek East wildfires remained in effect at the south end of the lake within the Columbia Shuswap Regional District , the Thompson Nicola Regional District and the Adams Lake Band.

“This is critical to ensure the safety of the public and first responders,” explained the CSRD. “No access also helps ensure the security of the properties which have been evacuated. No one wants to return home and find they have been the victim of theft.” “RCMP has been informed and will be investigating,” said the CSRD. “Security is in place for the protection of the properties. These personnel deserve to be treated with respect.”

On Monday, Aug. 8, the TNRD issued an evacuation order for a stretch of land along the west side of the lake. Along with issuing the evacuation order, the TNRD said it had closed the Agate Bay boat launch for recreational use until further notice. The regional district asked that people allow plenty of space for aircraft to access Adams Lake, noting “it is against the law to interfere with firefighting efforts, and puts both your safety and the safety of responders in jeopardy.
