Nohomin Creek wildfire near Lytton, B.C. listed at 2,058 hectares for 4th straight day
updated information on the Nohomin Creek blaze, which began last Thursday and quickly grew to 1,500 hectares.
On Monday, BCWS mapped the fire at 2,058 hectares, and its size remained the same on Thursday. However, with hot temperatures about to get hotter next week, the weather is concerning.“With less cloud cover, sunny weather and temperatures warming up more quickly throughout the day, relative humidity will be lower than over the weekend and fuels will continue to dry out,” said BC Wildfire.
Though it hasn’t grown in size of late, it’s still considered an out-of-control fire and is just 1.7 kilometres northwest of Lytton, on the west side of the Fraser River. BCWS says the fire’s south, east and north flanks aren’t exhibiting much activity, though the west flank remains active. That last flank is in steep and inoperable terrain.Vernon, B.C. taking part in early wildfire detection research
Evacuation alerts and orders issued last week are still in effect, and Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux Heritage Park is closed. However, traffic along the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 12 aren’t being impacted.
