Firefighters struggle to control Dew Drop Trail fire west of Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — The BC Wildfire Service is trying to regain control of a fire in Lac Du Bois Provincial Park.
The fire was first discovered as a small wildfire on June 16 and was taken over as a controlled burn. However, Monday’s strong winds spread the fire, which is now estimated to be burning across 260 hectares.
Airtankers and more than 60 firefighters continue to attack the blaze today (June 27), hoping to gain the upper hand.
