Wildfire Near Coldstream Now Held, According to BC Wildfire Service
NORTH OKANAGAN, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 2 – The wildfire, held at about 0.08 hectares, is believed to be human-caused and involved two attack crews and a helicopter, BC Wildfire Service said.
- A wildfire was reported at approximately 1:15 p.m. on July 2, located southeast of Coldstream along the forest service road by King Edward Lake, situated between Coldstream and Lavington.
- The fire likely started due to human activity, and initial reports indicated the blaze was out of control at about 90 square metres.
- BC Wildfire Service deployed two initial attack crews, a helicopter, and local fire department assistance while smoke was seen along Highway 6 heading southeast.
- The wildfire, currently contained at 0.08 hectares, is not expected to expand further given the existing weather and fuel conditions, according to a spokesperson for the BC Wildfire Service.
- This containment suggests the wildfire is controlled, although monitoring continues because of its human-caused origin and recent rapid response deployment.
