Fire activity could increase at 164,745 hectare Pear Lake blaze in the Cariboo
BCWS says planned ignitions and containment work aim to limit growth as 476 firefighters, 89 structure protection personnel and 21 helicopters remain on scene.
- The 164,745-hectare Pear Lake wildfire in the Cariboo remains out of control, with the BC Wildfire Service preparing for increased fire activity as a warming and drying trend begins on Monday, August 24.
- At the Big Bar complex, BCWS has deployed 476 firefighting personnel, 89 structure protection personnel, 120 pieces of heavy equipment, and 21 helicopters to manage the blaze.
- Crews are executing planned ignitions to remove fuel between the main fire and control lines, while structure protection teams filled four water tanks in the Highway 99 area on Sunday for water access.
- BCWS crews remain active at 70 Mile House and Green Lake monitoring hotspots, while firefighters suppress the blaze's edge between Big Bar Ferry Road and Big Bar Mountain.
- Officials are constructing a contingency line northwest of Canoe Lake to address terrain where dangerous conditions prevent safe direct suppression, as crews continue suppressing east of the lake.
