The nastiest heat wave in memory continues to be responsible for a steady dose of new wildfires in the East Kootenay, while the fight continues on several fires ignited in the past few days.
Wildfire BC is this morning reporting the wildfire in the Lumberton area, near the Moyie River, has expanded to 10 hectares in scale as the fight continues with water bombers utilizing Moyie Lake.
The Bootleg/Matthew Creek fire near Kimberley is today listed as under control at .36 ha.
The lightning-caused Stanford Range fire discovered July 2 is noted as being 1.2 ha in size. It is about 17 km east of Invermere, and is visible from Mount Swansea.
