CP Douses Brush
29 July 2021

Three Valley Lake British Columbia - The Three Valley Lake remains out of control at more than 309 hectares.
 
A post on the Shuswap Emergency Program Facebook page said the fire did not see significant growth in the last 24 hours and where there was growth, it was in a direction away from the Three Valley Gap Chateau.
 
Earlier this week, CP crews were spraying the brush along the rail lines with a combination of water and fire retardant materials.
 
The evacuation order by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District for Three Valley Lake including the area bordering the north side of the Trans-Canada Highway remains in effect as does an evacuation alert for two properties west of the Trans-Canada highway.
 
"The BC Wildfire Service is continuing to monitor this fire. Structural Protection Specialists remain on scene, and CP has aerial resources responding to the fire throughout the day," said a post on the BC Wildfire Service website.
 
The cause of the fire 18.5 kilometres southwest of Revelstoke is under investigation.
