Lytton’s Nohomin Creek fire sees some growth as heat wave hits B.C.
After showing no growth for a couple days, the blaze grew about 167 hectares on Monday due to the hot and dry weather conditions. The growth continues at the west flank on the north side of the Stein River.
Along the Stein Valley walking path, crews added another 1,100 feet of hoselay and sprinklers to match the progression of the fire. The sprinklers are to protect the park’s infrastructure and cultural values in the area.
