Air quality was often an issue during the fire and cold weather made it difficult for firefighters to get access to water at nearby Katepwa Lake.
What officials aren’t sure of is whether the fire was the result of spontaneous combustion or arson.
Bobbee estimates the cost of fighting the fire could reach 200-thousand dollars.
