Fire Information Officer Madison Smith explains where they were.
“A lot of them did lie in the west regions of our fire centre, so the far West Chilcotin and then the northwest of the Quesnel region, and we did have a few we’re just picking out in the Horsefly Lake area.”
One of those was out at Salt Lake, which is about 55 kilometres north of Anahim Lake.
“It is currently estimated at 100 hectares in size and is out of control. We currently have 8 personnel, one helicopter, and skimmers actioning the fire. We do have two pieces of heavy equipment out there right now but there is more en route.”
