About 200 firefighters from Mexico arrived in B.C. on Thursday to help battle destructive wildfires across the province.

The City of Armstrong has rescinded the Evacuation Alert that was issued for 14 affected properties in response to the Bradley Creek Wildfire.

A helicopter pilot suffered minor injuries after the aircraft went down in a lake while battling wildfires in British Columbia's Cariboo region.

The B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS), the Okanagan Indian Band (OKIB) and the Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness (EMCR) held an update this morning, Aug. 4, describing the impacts of the Bradley Creek wildfire and what comes next.

About 8,000 people are under evacuation orders in British Columbia as wildfires continue to threaten communities in the southern Interior and Cariboo regions, provincial officials said Tuesday.

Currently, there is no immediate threat of wildfire to this area.

The BC Wildfire Service has reported no significant growth on the Bradley Creek Wildfire since Sunday.

Another evacuation alert has been issued by the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) at the Emergency Operations Centre to the Bradley Creek FSR Wildfire. 

The Bradley Creek wildfire remained out of control Sunday, keeping hundreds of properties under evacuation orders and alerts while leaving more than 3,500 customers without power across the North Okanagan.
