Two out-of-control wildfires burning on Vancouver Island remain unchanged in size and status despite a Monday evening windstorm that was powerful enough to topple trees.
said the Riverbottom Road fire near Duncan remained approximately 4.1 hectares in size Tuesday morning.
The bigger of the two fires was considered held, meaning it wasn’t expected to grow beyond its perimeter, but remained out of control, Caranci said. The smaller blaze, at 0.30 hectares, is under control. “Just after midnight, there were fireworks explosions, 20, 30, 40, all within a two-minute span. It just kind of seemed strange late at night,” he said, adding that he didn’t notice the blaze until mid-day Saturday.
