Wildfire Near Sasamat Lake Forces Evacuations | Toronto News

A wildfire erupted in Belcarra Regional Park near Sasamat Lake, forcing evacuations of two homes and alerting 35 properties in Anmore. Ground crews were initially blocked by live power lines, so helicopters dropped water while B.C. Hydro shut down the Buntzen Lake area. By evening, power was cut, allowing 40 firefighters to tackle the blaze—about 1.5 hectares—under calm winds. Authorities urge everyone to stay away until it’s declared safe.
