One of B.C.’s largest wildfires is now contained
PRINCE GEORGE — The BC Wildfire Service says one of British Columbia’s largest active wildfires has been contained more than a month after it was initially discovered.
After growing to more than 900 square kilometres, the fire burning near Shovel Lake in northwestern B.C. was hit with scattered showers over night, and the wildfire service says further growth is unlikely.
The wildfire service says the forecast in the area is favourable for Sunday.
Highs are expected in the mid to upper teens, and there’s plenty of moisture in the air with a humidity index of nearly 40 per cent.
