Just heard forestry reporting to Kamloops, rank 4 to rank 5 - approx 4-5 hectares, trees candling, asked if possible they need helis with buckets if any are still able to fly. Dispatch said she will see but think all are down for the night.

From here looks like they set up road closure possibly. South of fire by bear Creek

[madadam]

RCMP and fire are discussing what to do, fire wants alert giving to Cabins at Secret Point plus other houses along Westside Road, they are also talking about evacuations.
