There are currently 70 active wildfires within the Cariboo.
That’s according to Fire Information Officer Jessica Mack.
Most though, 42, are still within the 100 Mile House fire zone.
Mack says they have seen increased fire activity over the past couple of days, even to the point where personnel had to be pulled back on the Big Stick Lake wildfire due to safety concerns.
She says they are playing a bit of catch-up on that fire today.
“Our personnel are working to re-establish machine guard and hose lay in areas where the wildfire did cross the guard. And we do have some aircraft that are in the area as well that are working to cool hot spots.”
