Cameron Bluffs wildfire grows to 208 hectares, some rain in the forecastWhile it rained across most of Vancouver Island, it wasn’t enough to reduce the Camerons Bluff Wildfire. However, officials on the scene tell CHEK News it offered some reprieve for the crews working the area.
“The crews are experiencing a bit of a reprieve with the dampness that’s come in. So that’s good news, they were able to do a small ignition on the higher part of the fire, and they’re working down both the back, the very highest part of the fire, and down both flanks.”
