LYTTON — The Nohomin Creek wildfire just northwest of the village of Lytton has grown to an estimated 1,500 hectares in size.
According to the B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS), the fire size has been updated to 1,500 hectares as a result of wind-driven growth on the west flank, in steep terrain.
Fire personnel are dealing with heavy smoke, accessibility challenges, and rugged terrain.
Winds are gusting at approximately 30-40 kilometres an hour and pushing the fire west away from communities. The incident is still classified as “Out of Control” by BCWS.
