The Dusty Lake wildfire 8 kilometres South East of Nimpo Lake and 25 kilometres South of Anahim Lake is estimated to be 3,832 hectares in size.
Fire Information Officer at the Dean Complex, Mikhail Elsay said they currently have 13 fire fighters assigned to this incident.
“Crews are currently working on the Northwest corner of the fire, at the Northwest flank. They are using heavy machinery to construct indirect machine guard and are using hand ignitions to reinforce those machine guards. We are seeing continued growth to the South and to the East as well at this time.”
Elsay said its been too smoky the last couple of days to have air aviation resources on the fire but if and when the smoke clears we do anticipate being able to get helicopters out to support the crews as well.
Elsay reminds the public they can always download the BC Wildfire Service public app to stay up to date on all wildfires within the Province
