INFORMATION RELEASE
Issuance of Evacuation ALERT for Kloklowuck IR #7 and Antko IR #21
Eﬀective August 11, 2026 12:00 p.m.
We have been monitoring the Ainslie Creek Wildﬁre over the past few weeks. As this ﬁre continues to grow it has branched oﬀ to two ﬁngers that are of concern to Cook’s Ferry Indian Band. Fire activity in the Northeast in the vicinity of the Prospect Creek Forest Service Road and ﬁre activity in the South East in the vicinity of Uztlius Creek, South of Spius Creek continues to grow causing concern for IR 7 and IR 21 respectively.
To support the protection of IR 7 and IR 21, Chief and Council have issued an Evacuation Alert for IR 7 and IR 21 eﬀective Tuesday August 11, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. due to the risk from the Ainslie Creek Wildﬁre.
Our intention is to ensure structural protection is installed within the two reserves and that vegetation is managed. With fallen ash, and embers, it is important to ensure that the community is as ﬁre smart as possible.
What you should do:
- Don’t panic. Information will be provided as it evolves
- Pack a bag with essentials, medication and important documents
- If you need assistance, should we need to evacuate, please let us know as soon as possible
- Remove any combustibles from your yard
