Village of Harrison Hot Springs says there is little danger to campers from nearby fire

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – The Village of Harrison Hot Springs is telling people the a nearby fire poses very little danger to campers.

You can see the smoke from the village, but Carolyn Janousek with the Visitor’s Centre says the wind is blowing away from them.

“The air quality is fine. We’ve had a lot of people phoning and emailing us asking us about the situation and we just tell them, just like I said, the wind is carrying the smoke down the lake and away from the village.”

She says there were a few campers who had to move, but for the most part travellers are unaffected.

Janousek says her job right now is mostly calming fears.

“It’s a beautiful day in Harrison. Everybody is having a good time here. People are worrying about the lake and everything but everything is fine.”
