The 68-square kilometre, out-of-control Nk-Mip wildfire sparked between Oliver and Osoyoos continues to move eastward in the south Okanagan.
The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary issued evacuation orders to more than 120 properties last week and added Mount Baldy ski resort and areas including Conkle Lake Provincial Park to the list yesterday, while the fire causes another challenge.
Shaw Communications says the wildfire is preventing its technicians from accessing and repairing equipment, meaning internet, wifi, phone and TV services have been cut for some customers in Grand Forks, Christina Lake and Midway.
Shaw is updating its social media as it gets more information but, as of this morning, affected services had been down since Friday.
