At 1230 h as of 8:30, , ,,this is going to be a Beast, ,,,,at least they have many close by lakes to draw from.

Wind is the culprit.( with suitable fuel)
Anachist fire in 2003 was 1200 Ha and the OK MT park fire ended up being around 26,000 ha. It started from a lightening strike but the wind in the afternoon drove it up the hill and before dinner was out of control.

If the wind subsides somewhat, they might be able to control the flanks to some extent. Likely need a rain event to slow it down. Flat ground up there helps.

Looks like it's going again.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett tells Castanet the most recent expansion of evacuation orders now affects between 3,000 and 3,500 homes.

Castanet's reporter on the ground in 100 Mile House says the feeling is ominous as huge pillars of smoke tower over the community.
