Crews cautiously confident with expanded fire lines near 100 Mile House
100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — The weather is also helping efforts to contain the 5,000-hectare Gustafsen wildfire near 100 Mile House.
Fire Information Officer Heather Rice says the lack of wind has allowed crews to work on preventative tasks.
“We have had good success at increasing the size and capacity of all the fire lines,” said Rice.
“We are feeling fairly confident that the fire will not see any significant growth in the near future, all depending on the wind of course.”
