Summary

Dozens of properties, campsites and a popular golf course are included in a wildfire evacuation east of Princeton. The still-small August Lake wildfire is about 2 kilometres from the town and burning out of control. The fire, which broke out Saturday afternoon, is thought to be human caused. Meanwhile, BC Wildfire crews have been dealing with several other new fires that started over the weekend including ones in Manning Park, Keremeos and the Cowichan Valley.

Breaking News: At least two air ambulances and several ground crews have responded to a multi-injury crash on Highway One in the Fraser Canyon. It happened just before 4:00 Sunday afternoon, north of Boston Bar. Attending crews were also advised of a new but small wildfire in that area.
