The wildfire service has warned that warm, dry weather will fuel increased activity for the out\u002Dof\u002Dcontrol blaze.
An update posted to the service’s website says protecting the Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux Heritage Park is a priority, and its personnel are working with a representative from Lytton First Nation to identify areas of cultural value.
It says winds Monday afternoon were challenging, with gusts up to 60 km/h, but containment lines on the south, east and north flanks “held up well.” The blaze has destroyed at least six properties and forced more than 100 people from their homes on the west side of the Fraser River, about 150 kilometres northeast of Vancouver.
