The BC Wildfire service says four of the new fires are burning west of the Witset community

The agency monitoring wildfires in British Columbia’s says eight new blazes have sprung up in the southern regions of the Northwest Fire Centre after more than 400 lightning strikes hit the area on Friday night.

The service says while the blazes fires are all small in size, assessing some of them has been “a challenge” due to their remote locations. The wildfire service website shows there are six blazes of note in B.C., including the Hullcar Mountain wildfire that’s burning approximately 13 kilometres northwest of Armstrong and is roughly 7.1 square kilometres in size.
