Burned vehicles are pictured after the Bush Creek East wildfire destroyed dozens of homes in multiple rural communities including Scotch Creek, Lee Creek and Celista in the North Shuswap Lake region of B.C., on Aug. 23, 2023.
Officials also confirmed that no lives have been lost to the fire, but urged residents to stay out of evacuation zones, citing hazards ranging from unstable trees and downed power lines to dangerous toxins released by burning materials."Our main intention is to get you home safely as soon as we can," B.C. Wildfire Service information officer Mike McCulley said.
