BC Wildfire Service says the fires are lightning caused
BC Wildfire Service says five new lightning-caused wildfires have sparked in the Lillooet Fire Zone, with four of them between Cache Creek and Lytton."As the day goes on and temperatures and wind speeds increase, more wildfires may be detected. Increased temperatures and winds will also affect fire behaviour," the post adds.
The Mount Marley wildfire is about 6.5 kilometres south of Pavilion Lake and is a spot fire. There is one initial attack crew responding and they are doing danger tree assessment and falling. The crew will be supported by helicopter if needed. The White Mountain wildfire is about 18 kilometres southwest of Ashcroft and an estimated three hectares. An initial attack crew and single resource are on site, supported by air tankers. A bulldozer and water tender are en route.
