As B.C. faces the risk of an extreme wildfire season in 2021, ranchers and livestock operators are urged to register with the Premises Identification (ID) program.

A lightening strike on July 1 in the Lower North Thompson, most likely from the same storm that started a fire in the Orchard Lake area, sparked a fire just south of Pinatan, advised Ron Lines on social media Saturday morning.

The out of control Sparks Lake wildfire continues and so does the evacuation of both people and livestock from threatened areas, including the Deadman River Valley which is known for a number of historic ranches and range lands to the west of Kamloops.

Watch was issued by Environment Canada
