Radium Hot Springs, & hence the Peaks, is now on the edge of the Horsethief Creek Wildfire Alert Zone, with its Evacuation Zone close behind. You should have a go bag ready and a plan on where to evacuate. Planning to evacuate anywhere between Windermere and Spillimacheen is NOT advisable.

You should be signed up for emergency notifications from the RDEK Emergency Operations Centre using the Voyent Alert app or website:

Due to a broken water main earlier today, the Village of Radium Hot Springs’ water reserves are somewhat depleted. This, combined with the new Wildfire No. N22243 about 15-20km SW of Radium, has caused the Village to move to Stage 2 of its Water Restrictions Bylaw. As a result, the Peaks’ automatic sprinkler systems will be shut off until the Village returns to Stage 1 water restrictions.
