wildfire devastation

Situation Report for August 15, 2021 at 19:00

The City of Enderby Emergency Operations Centre remains activated at Level 1 for wildfire monitoring, advance planning, and resource coordination.

There are no evacuation alerts or orders within City limits at this time.

Emergency Operations Centre staff are in daily communications with BC Wildfire incident command at the White Rock Lake wildfire. Our sincere appreciation goes out to the team who is responding to that wildfire, at every level.

A thank you also goes out to the Enderby & District Fire Department, which is providing patrol support to the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Fire Department.

In addition to preparing your grab-and-go bag and completing your household emergency plan, please do what you can to protect your property by making it “FireSmart”. You can download the below poster to help you work through the recommendations that will help protect your home in the event of a wildfire.

Our thoughts and sympathies are extended to the evacuees and others who are suffering through this wildfire season.

Our thanks goes to those who are responding – from wildland and structural firefighters through to emergency support service volunteers through to emergency operations centre staff through to the contractors, suppliers, and volunteers. This emergency has required an “all of society” response, and it is inspiring to see the way in which so many have stepped up to help us all through.
