A small wildfire, discovered Saturday, continues to burn out of control northeast of Lumby, in the Trinity Valley area.

The B.C. Wildfire Service originally said it suspected the 0.8-hectare blaze was human-caused, but now believes the fire was sparked by lightning.

A crew of six wildfire fighters responded to the blaze on Saturday and are back fighting the fire on Sunday.
