The Mayor of Squamish says two properties are on evacuation order due to slope instability from a wildfire. Armand Hurford says the Dryden Creek wildfire remained at nearly 60 hectares in size yesterday, but burned tree roots and wildfire crews have reported large trees falling and disturbing debris.
Squamish Fire Rescue Chief Aaron Foote says the wildfire service is now the lead agency on the blaze, and cooler temperatures and rain are expected this week.
Foote says Squamish has a busy fire department even without a wildfire, and about 57 wildfire fighters remain on the Dryden Creek fire, with support from four tree fallers and three helicopters for terrain inaccessible by ground crews.
