BCWS says bucketing helicopters worked on multiple areas of elevated fire activity on both the Ainslie Creek wildfire (8,816 hectares) and the Brunswick Creek wildfire (2,594 hectares).

Ground crews are responding to these fires, supported by heavy equipment who are establishing access south of the fire. Structure protection has been put in place on structures in the valley below this fire, BCWS says.

There are three power outages in the area of the two Fraser Canyon wildfires affecting about 220 customers.

There are five evacuation orders and two evacuation alerts in place for the Fraser Canyon.
