A wildfire has led to evacuation alerts and closures for the popular Bugaboo Provincial Park in B.C.'s East Kootenay region on Sunday.

The core areas of the Bugaboo Provincial Park were already closed due to flooding damage a little under two weeks ago, after nearly 60 campers and hikers had to be evacuated via helicopter.
