FALKLAND, B.C. — A new wildfire that broke out between Falkland and Westwold is now out.

The B.C. Wildfire Service says it was located near Highway 97, 11 kilometres southwest of Falkland in the area of Ingram Creek.

“We had four BCWS personnel respond and the local fire department also responded, and it is out,” said Taylor MacDonald, information officer with the Service.

The fire was spot sized.

“I think it was suspected human caused,” added MacDonald, noting the fire started adjacent to the highway.
