We are safe for the moment in Salmon Arm but Government is advising non essential travel to this region be postponed
Due to significant wildfire activity, please do not travel for non-essential reasons to the Central Interior and Southeast – including to the Shuswap and Okanagan.
We need to secure more accommodation for the tens of thousands of people who have been evacuated, as well as firefighters and emergency personnel who also need a place to stay. An emergency order is in place in the Okanagan to free up temporary accommodation, like hotels, motels and campgrounds, for people who need it.
