BC Wildfire says the wildfire smoke that's currently coating the Okanagan is said to be helping lower daily temperatures at the Little White Mountain wildfire.

The firefighters will be deployed to Redmond, Ore., with the province noting that an additional 200 personnel could be sent south in the near future.

Located around 20 kilometres west of Penticton, the Green Mountain Road fire is listed at 1.5 hectares.

Provincial fire agency says human-caused fires are more common in September than lightning-caused fires.

The north portion of Skaha Bluffs Provincial Park is open to the public, but the south portion remains closed.

The Wildfire Service said Sunday, "an increased number of people have been attempting to access the parks and trails" near the fire.

BC Wildfire says the fire moved past a retardant line, moving from an inaccessible area and down into a ravine.

The group made the sign in the dark, by flashlight, hoping it would give wildfire pilots a nice surprise come Friday morning.

On Tuesday morning, the Christie Mountain wildfire was listed at 2,035 hectares, the same size it was on Saturday afternoon.

EOC director Sean Vaisler said he is confident the 2,035 hectare wildfire no longer poses an urgent or immediate threat to the hillside properties southeast of Penticton.
