The 83,342-hectare White Rock Lake wildfire is now classified as being held, according to the BC Wildfire Services. “Over the last 52 days, firefighters and support personnel from around the world have maintained response efforts on the White Rock Lake wildfire,” the provincial agency said Sept. 2. But “considerable work” remains before it’s completely suppressed. BC Wildfire Services will continue to work on fire suppression until there is no risk to public health and infrastructure. Already, alerts and orders have begun to be downgraded or cleared. And as disaster response moves into the recovery phase, local authorities have set up supports for evacuees returning home.
