A fire spotted on Thursday afternoon in the Fintry, B.C., protected area is now considered under control.
BC Wildfire information officer Aydan Coray said the fire was likely caused by lightning and is mapped at just under one hectare in size.
“We have seven personnel on site this afternoon,” Coray said.
- Kelowna man fined $5K for flying drone during 2023 McDougall Creek wildfire
- Wildfire funding not sufficient in Saskatchewan budget, says fire chief
- 3 companies facing charges after Thorncliffe Park condo fire: Toronto fire chief

The fire was spotted just after 1 p.m., and it was just before 5 p.m. when it was classified as under control, Coray said.
Even though it’s under control and firefighters have secured the perimeter, they will likely be on-site throughout the night implementing fuel-free guards and wet lines.
