Carfantan said at a press conference on Sunday that it is now possible to call the 911 service, and the previous non-emergency number of the RCMP has been diverted to Lillooet, about 60 kilometers northwest of the community.

He said that since the June 30 fire that killed two people, the police have followed up more than 15 reports of missing persons, but everyone in and outside Fraser Canyon has been found and safe.

“We know that someone may still be missing, so if you can’t find a loved one, please call or go to the local or nearest RCMP detachment to report that person is missing.”

Carfantan said the police and multiple agencies, including the Wildfire Bureau of British Columbia, Transport Canada and the Transportation Safety Board, are collecting information and evidence to determine the cause of the fire.

“We are committed to providing a more complete update on the investigation within the next one or two days,” he said.

Parts of southern British Columbia continue to be hot and dry, and cool temperatures are helping staff suppress wildfires in the north.

Tyler Coleman, the fire information officer of the Wildfire Service, said that 67 fires were classified as out of control on Sunday, but staff have not yet been able to assess the latest fires.

Coleman said there were 306 fires in British Columbia, most of which occurred at Kamloops and Caribou Fire Centers.

The federal and provincial governments said on Sunday that they will donate every dollar of the Canadian Red Cross to people affected by the wildfires, which they said means that a dollar of donation will become a donation of $3. Matched donations will be retroactive, including donations received since the start of the Red Cross BC Wildfire Appeal Fund on July 3.
