Lightning ignites new fire north of 2,000-hectare Lower East Adams Lake blaze
The Taylor Creek wildfire was discovered Wednesday evening on the lake’s east side, south of Momich Lakes Park. As of late Thursday morning, July 27, the fire was estimated to be .1 hectares in size. Lightning was the suspected cause.
Late Thursday afternoon, the Shuswap Emergency Program issued an update on the fire and the work being done. Reduced fire behaviour was supporting firefighting efforts and, according to the BCWS, there was no expectation of fire behaviour increasing at the time. Two heavy-life helicopters continued with bucketing operations on the fire. The steep terrain makes it unsafe for ground firefighting crews.
