The Cariboo Regional District says a small slash pile reignited Wednesday afternoon.
A spokesperson from the Regional District said the Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department(VFD) attended the scene, and extinguised the fire.
The Forest Grove VFD believes the fire was a ‘holdover fire’, which is a fire thought to have been extinguished that was able to exist through the winter. The VFD says it appears the warmer temperatures and more air/oxygen of the last month reignited the fire.
No injuries were reported.
