Boaters on Cameron Lake are being asked to stay clear when helicopters dip their buckets into the lake.
Motorists are being asked to be cautious when travelling near Cameron Bluffs, west of Highway 4, where firefighters are battling an out-of-control wildfire.
Neither the highway nor Cameron Lake resort areas are believed to be under threat from the fire, and the Arrowsmith CPR regional trail was still open as of Monday morning. The Cameron Bluffs wildfire, first reported on Saturday night at 11:52 p.m., is suspected of being human-caused. As of Monday, the fire size is estimated to be around 20 hectares. The fire grew overnight due to wind and an additional helicopter was assigned on Monday, the B.C. Wildfire Service said.
Crews are suppressing 80 per cent of the fire, said Coastal Fire Centre information officer Kimberly Kelly, with the remaining 20 per cent on the eastern flank burning on extreme slopes.
