It is currently about four hectares in size, and is not an immediate threat to public safety or property.

Firefighters stayed onsite overnight on Sunday to monitor the fire for growth and continue their response.

BC Wildfire says it is exhibiting rank two fire behaviour, “which means it’s a low-intensity surface fire, showing unorganized flame front and a slow rate of growth.”

There is rain in the forecast, so crews are expected to make good progress today.
