I know that there a lot of members that like to hunt or have hunted the Clinton area and thought you might like to know there's evacuation notices along Jesmond road. My Aunt used to own the Kelly Lake Ranch and and it's sad to think all the historic buildings could be lost. I hope no one gets hurt and the forest service can protect their homes.

A forest fire that has been burning in the mountains of southern B.C. for three weeks has now forced dozens of residents from their homes.
In recent days the Kelly Lake fire has doubled in size to nearly 60 square kilometres and is threatening ranches and resorts in the Arden Park and Pear Lake areas north of Pavilion and west of Clinton, about 400 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. Fire officials said gusty winds caused this fire to grow aggressively on Thursday, crossing Jesmond and High Bar roads.
Evacuation order:
All properties on Jesmond Road from and including Kelly Lake and Arden Park, north to the Big Bar Ferry Road intersection, and including all properties on High Bar Road west to Davies Ranch and East to Porcupine Creek Road.
Just before 10 p.m. PT Thursday, the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District ordered people in an area out of their homes. Affected residents and visitors were told to check in at a reception centre at the Clinton Elementary School.
The cause of the fire is not known and the Forest Service said the blaze remains uncontained despite the work of 49 firefighters and seven helicopters. var storyUrl = window.location.href; LicenseUrl = storyUrl.match(/\/20.*\.html/); var listSpan = document.getElementsByTagName("span"); for(var i = 0; i < listSpan.length; i++) { if(listSpan[i].className.match("icopyright")) { var link0 = "http://license.icopyright.net/3.8471?icx_id=" + LicenseUrl; listSpan[i].innerHTML = "LICENSE | "; } } for(var i = 0; i < listSpan.length; i++) { if(listSpan[i].className.match("iemail")) { var link1 = "http://license.icopyright.net/g1/3.8471?icx_id=" + LicenseUrl; listSpan[i].innerHTML = "EMAIL | "; } } for(var i = 0; i < listSpan.length; i++) { if(listSpan[i].className.match("iprint")) { var link2 = "http://license.icopyright.net/g2/3.8471?icx_id=" + LicenseUrl; listSpan[i].innerHTML = "PRINT | "; } }
