Evacuation orders and alerts are in place for areas including Clinton, Boston Bar, and parts of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. In Clinton, about 350 km northeast of Vancouver, residents remain under an evacuation order after the Pear Lake wildfire advanced toward the village on Friday. “It was difficult,” said Bruce Kirkby, who spent hours trying to round up his four cats before evacuating Clinton. “Clinton has been preserved from major loss,” the village said in an update Saturday, thanking the Clinton Fire Department, BC Wildfire Service and crews from responding departments for their efforts. About 160 km south of Clinton, another wildfire-related challenge unfolded in the Boston Bar area.
