It is burning about a kilometre away from a structure (wildfire officials couldn’t confirm if that structure was a home), but the fire isn’t believed to be threatening it.
Two air tankers laid retardant around the perimeter of the fire. The aircraft were called off once they secured the fire, but ground crews remain on scene to fight the small blaze.
The fire is believed to be human caused.
