A planned burn of 10 hectares on the northern flank of the fire was completed on Friday July 14 to bring the blaze to established containment lines. There are currently 55 Coastal Fire Centre personnel, two helicopters and heavy equipment on the scene. Planned ignitions add fire to the landscape to bring it to the containment lines of firefighters. According to BC Wildfire Service, the planned ignition will allow crews to control the spread of wildfire and protect critical values even though igniting unburned fuel grass, twigs, branches, logs and trees adds more fire to the landscape. Coastal Fire says the size of the planned burn is currently undetermined because crews are reviewing the plan in the helicopter at this time. The fire was discovered last Wednesday night July 5 at approximately 8 p. Coastal Fire Centre information officer Kimberly Kelly says the spread of the fire can be attributed to less-than-ideal terrain with steep slopes, danger trees and unstable rock.
