With respect to permits issued or denied, that is an independent decision of our emergency operation centre and is not made at a political level. With respect to access in or out of the Spokin Lake Fire Area, you may want to make RCMP inspector Jeff Pelley aware of your concerns. By email, that is Jeff.PELLEY@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or via phone at 250-392-6211.

Some residents have even been allowed to go in and out of the Spokin Lake evacuated area freely without permits while others are refused even permits. Why is this happening? Those who are unable to return to their homes because of the evacuation order are dismayed about this . They are also very frustrated that the only information about this particular fire ever disseminated is non-descript and general in nature. Is it actual fire keeping people from their homes or just the risk of next week's wind patterns? While every effort has been appreciated, seems like CRD should address this fire more aggressively so people can get home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
