These fires are not currently threatening any communities, says BC Wildfire Service
At 3.6 hectares Maxan Lake wildfire is approximately 19 kilometres west of Burns Lake, and Tibbets Creek wildfire at 0.8 hectares, is approximately 21 kilometres east of Burns Lake. They were both discovered on August 8. In addition, a wildfire on the north side of Babine Lake, was discovered on August 8. This fire is being monitored and BC Wildfire Service said its staff will reassess it later today .
As of Aug. 9, an Initial Attack Crew and two officers are responding to Maxan Lake wildfire along with heavy equipment. A helicopter is available to support crews as required. Crews are building control lines and using direct attack by applying water to the fire. Out of control means the fire is not yet contained and is therefore anticipated to spread beyond the current perimeter. Crews are currently working to contain the fires, said BCWS
