KAMLOOPS – The Tremont Creek wildfire is burning aggressively again.

The BC Wildfire Service says the fire jumped containment lines east of Leighton lake and burned aggressively overnight to the north and south.

Fire officials says the new areas of growth are located about eight kilometres from the area where some back-burning was down earlier this week.

Ground crews and heavy equipment monitored the fire overnight and conducted some suppression work.
