Not sure, all I know is traders cove is right up from Bear Creek if I'm not mistaken but I would say its moving that way now.

Where's that?

[madadam]

Evacuating south of fire to Bear Creek Parkison Road intersection, north of fire any roads that lead off of Bear Creek road. Fire command reported fire is out of local fire district so will be a forestry fire.

[BoB76]

Is it still windy downtown?

[madadam]

Downed power lines across roads hampering fire crews, waiting for Hydro to cut the power.

[madadam]

Pine Point Road or court north of the fire just added to fire evac alert.

[Joshmite0904]

Has it died down any?? Cam shows its definitely calmer on south side, how about north side?

[madadam]

Because of downed power lines they cant send trucks from Bear Creek to Traders Cove. Sounds like station 42s trucks are out in Traders Cove area, they are knocking down hot spots around 20 homes in defensive position.

even trying to access spot fire in trader's cove by boat
very serious situation there

[madadam]

Fire down to the lake now in Traders Cove area, Marine rescue on the way will fight any fire they can. Still waiting for Hydro to cut power so they can send more trucks to Traders Cove area. Hydro trucks are out by Cinnabar Creek as there is power out from Cinnabar Creek to Fintry and farther north.
