The wildfires—and the smoky haze that they cause—have come earlier this year to B.C.'s Southern Interior.

The Allie Lake wildfire has reached 2,100 hectares and is burning out of control 55 kilometres northwest of Kamloops.

The chair of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, John Ranta, has issued an evacuation order for seven properties in the area.

Residents have been urged to shut off all gas and electrical appliances apart from refrigerators and freezers.

Another 51 addresses have been put on evacuation alert.

Meanwhile, the Xusum Creek wildfire—35 kilometres west of Lillooet—is 25 percent contained.

At 500 hectares, it's about 20 percent larger than Vancouver's Stanley Park.

Two properties have received evacuation orders from the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District and another 29 are under evacuation alert as a result of this blaze.

B.C.'s largest wildfire covers 4,793 hectares and is burning 58 kilometres southwest of Fort Nelson.

"This wildfire is currently being observed and assessed to determine the appropriate response option to minimize social disruption and/or significant impacts on values and resources, while achieving beneficial ecological, economic or resource management objectives," the B.C. Wildfire Service states on its website.

Another wildfire in northeastern B.C. has reached 1,800 hectares. It's 27 kilometres northeast of mile 109 on Highway 97 (Alaska Highway).

A third wildfire in this region has reached 1,700 hectares. It's northeast of Pink Mountain off Highway 97.

No homes are threatened by these three blazes.
