Flat Lake wildfire moving towards Highway 97
SHARE ON:
Highway 97 remains open for now, but the Flat Lake wildfire is moving in that direction.
Fire Information Officer Erin Bull has the latest on that fire that is burning southwest of 100 Mile House.
“The Flat Lake wildfire has grown. It’s estimated to be about 10,000 hectares at this time. Fire growth has been primarily in the southeast direction. Today, we do have helicopters bucketing that area of the fire.”
Bull says the fire is still a few kilometres away from the Highway, but she says more growth is expected today.
In addition to attacking the fire from the air, Bull says they also have heavy equipment and ground personnel working on it.
