A 1,500-hectare wildfire on Strathcona Provincial Park’s Mount Con Reid is being monitored, considered part of the area’s natural processes
Despite growing to about 1,500 hectares, a wildfire burning on Strathcona Provincial Park’s Mount Con Reid is not being fought due in part to its remote location.
Kelly said the B.C. Wildfire Service allows such naturally caused fires linked to lightning to burn if they do not endanger people or infrastructure.They can be allowed to burn until they are put out by rain or they begin to pose a threat, Kelly said. On the south Island, a fire on Crown land discovered Sunday about five kilometres north of Jordan River is under control at .05 hectare.A fire found Aug. 1 at Tugwell Creek, northwest of Sooke, remains under control at 1.85 hectares, while a fire on Quadra Island reported last week also remains under control at 1.9 ha.
