The wildfire situation is getting substantially better and the firefighters are working hard to keep the fires under control. Right now, the forest fires around the village of 亚洲天堂 Lake are subduing and hopefully local residents will get to enjoy the rest of summer season.

Sarah Hall, B.C. Wildfire Service Information officer said, 鈥淭wo 18-person unit crews are mopping up remaining hotspots in the area that have been identified by infrared scans. The estimated time of completion of sweeping the ground is Aug. 17, but it depends on the Type 3 hot spots in the area.鈥

The Parrott Lookout wildfire is classified as under control meaning suppression efforts have ensured the wildfire will not spread any further.

Hall said, 鈥淎t this time, no personnel are assigned to the Pinkut Lake wildfire. Personnel from the Nadina Lakes Complex are continuing to monitor this fire and are ready to respond if necessary. Significant progress has been made on this fire for the last five weeks.鈥

Right now, mountain trails and campgrounds are open for the public.

She also said, the area restriction orders that were in place for the vicinity of the Old Man Lake wildfire and Tintagel wildfire has been rescinded.
