A 10-hectare wildfire is burning north of Westside Road in the Bradley Creek area.
The blaze was first reported on July 31, however, the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) updated information regarding the incident at 2 a.m. Aug. 1.
The out-of-control wildfire is expected to spread beyond the current perimeter and is believed to be human-caused.
On Friday, BCWS warned that weather conditions over the long weekend could increase the hazard of wildfires and lead to challenging conditions for those fighting them.
A cold front is forecast to move across much of the province this weekend, bringing thunderstorms and strong, gusty winds. By the time this activity reaches the Southern Interior, it will come with little or no rainfall.
Due to hot and dry conditions and continued drought, fuels are increasingly susceptible, and it is likely that new lightning-caused wildfires may result.
More to come.
