British Columbia's wildfire service is working to create containment lines around an"aggressive" blaze that has already destroyed at least six homes.
The homes lost were in the Venables Valley, near Spences Bridge, and Colton Davies with the Thompson-Nicola Regional District says they were among 20 buildings destroyed by the nearly 200-square-kilometre Shetland Creek fire. Walsh says in a video update that hot and dry conditions coupled with gusty winds have fuelled erratic and aggressive fire behaviour at the Shetland Creek blaze, driving its spread to the north.
