The historic B.C. tourist attraction ghost town at Wells-Barkerville is now under wildfire evacuation order. Several fires are burning in that area of the North Cariboo as a cooler weather system brought in some thunderstorms over the weekend. Meanwhile, a small 10 hectare fire broke out near Williams Lake on Sunday and those in the area say it continues to grow. In the Thompson-Nicola, the large Shetland Creek fire-of-note, between Spences Bridge and Cache Creek, has resulted in several temporary closures of Highway One.
