All residents of properties under evacuation alert should be ready to leave on very short notice.

The Guichon Creek wildfire was first noticed during the 2:00 p.m. hour Wednesday (July 29). The latest mapping estimate from the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) shows the fire at 15 hectares.

BCWS says the fire is displaying Rank 3-to-4 behaviour, meaning “with an organized flame front, moderate rate of spread, and short-range spotting.”

Two-dozen firefighters are attacking the blaze, along with aerial resources and heavy equipment.

CFJC‘s Victor Kaisar and Kent Simmonds were in Logan Lake shortly after the fire broke out.
