SHARE ON: Forest Grove Wildfires (C. Adams, My Cariboo Now)
The BC Wildfire Service is conducting a controlled burn on the Southwest of the Deka Lake wildfire (southeast of PG)
Fire Information Officer Jessica Mack says the controlled burn is being done with a helicopter and some hand ignition.
“The goal of this is just to remove any available fuel between the fire’s edge and the fuel-free guard that was built by heavy equipment. This will allow us to slow down and help limit any spread of the wildfire by decreasing the amount of fire perimeter that we have to manage.”
