Due to the potential of increased winds and wildfire growth in the uplands of Kobau Mountain,
the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen has expanded the Evacuation Alert for the
Testalinden Creek fire area northwards.

Properties along Tinhorn Creek, Old Golf Course Road, West Ave, Cellar Road, Chokecherry Lane, the west side of Sumac Street and portions of Fairview Road and Willowbrook Road are now under Evacuation Alert.

The Regional District would like residents within the Evacuation Alert area to be prepared to
evacuate if required. Residents in these areas will be contacted shortly informing them of steps
to take to prepare for potential evacuation.

The total number of homes or properties placed under Evacuation Alert due to the Testalinden Creek Wildfire is now 285.

Residents and agriculturists along the Crown Land interface are advised to water interface areas
up to 3 hours each day. Residents and agriculturists outside the Evacuation Alert area within
the Oliver, BC area are asked to conserve water as much as possible to ensure water is available
for firefighting.
