Getting to be frustrating that @BCGovFireInfo is not updating the #BCWildfire map for reserves hours or days after orders posted. Happened with #Squilax & #AdamsLake (orders listed now) & now #Tsalalh.
With fires before, #Indigenous communities were told to rely on that app.
#BCWildfire finally updated the map to include the Evac orders for #Secwépemc Skwlāx (#Squilax) Quaaout & #AdamsLake Sahhaltkum reserves, only just now (half a day after orders were posted).
Dangerous & frustrating. The evac orders for Skwlāx-Quaaout IR & Adams Lake-Sahhaltkum IR Secwépemc communities aren't listed on the #BCWildfire Service map & the #ShuswapEmergencyProgram map is still not even showing the #ChaseBC orders & alerts. No news updates on #Squilax.
Still no new updates on #Squilax, #Celista, #LeeCreek, and #ScotchCreek after CSRD, Skwlāx te SecwepemcúÍecw, and Adams Lake band issued evac orders and after water evacuations needed due to Scotch Creek bridge closure yesterday....
"The fire hall in Scotch Creek had burned down. He said the #Squilax gas station is also believed to have burned down. Sutherland hasn’t been able to confirm the loss of the gas station or other structures..." #BCWildfire
