Here are some pics of a couple of the wildfires in my area. I did not take these pictures. I swiped them from the BC wildfire site :wink:
Llgitiyuz Mountain fire, August 16th pictures.
Size: 170.0 hectares (estimated)
Status: Active
• 0% contained
Fire guards and contingency lines are being worked on however confidence is low that these guards will contain the fire's growth. We are expecting that aggressive fire behaviour will cause fire to spot across current containment lines.
The fire showed very aggressive behaviour today
Binta Lake fire. August 13th pictures.
This is now an interface fire.
Size: 4,500.0 hectares (estimated)
Status: Active
• 20% contained
This fire continues to grow and demonstrate extreme fire activity.
Fire guards and contingency lines are being worked on however confidence is low that these guards will contain the fire's growth. We are expecting that aggressive fire behaviour will cause fire to spot across current containment lines.
Movement has been primarily to the east.
Surrounding areas are smoky today due to warm, calm conditions trapping smoke in the valley. A large column of smoke may be visible from Burns Lake and surrounding areas.
Evacuation Order is in effect.
The Bulkley-Nechako Regional District issued an evacuation order for the area around Binta Lake and an evacuation alert for the surrounding area.
More information
Structural protection specialists have examined all of the structures within the area and structure protection has been triaged.
Smoke may be heavy through Burns Lake, and through the Lakes District and Bulkley Valley.
