The City of Williams Lake has activated its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) at the Fire Hall as it continues to monitor fires in the general area.

This is a level one activation which is the lowest activation level and is meant simply as a precaution as evacuation alerts have recently been issued by the CRD for areas that border on the City fire protection area.

At this time there is no immediate threat to any structures or property within City boundaries.

The only fire of note in the area is located in the vicinity of Springhouse approximately 19kms SW of Williams Lake.
