British Columbia Wildfire Service says sprinkler system is being installed to protect Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux Heritage Park neat Lytton
The British Columbia Wildfire Service says crews have made “great progress” in establishing a sprinkler system along a walking path in a provincial park northwest of Lytton, where a wildfire has scorched about 20 square kilometres of land.
The wildfire service has warned that warm, dry weather with clear skies in the forecast this week will fuel increased activity for the out-of-control blaze. The flames were more active on the fire’s west flank, the service says, and helicopters have continued to dump water on the area, where much of the terrain is steep and inaccessible for firefighting crews.
More than 100 personnel have been assigned to the fire, backed by 10 helicopters and other support crews, the wildfire service says.
