Beef Trail Creek & Dusty Lake wildfire update

The Beef Trail Creek wildfire North of Anahim Lake is estimated to be 7800 hectares in size.

Mikhail Elsay with the Miner Lake Complex Information team said ground crews and heavy equipment will be strategically positioned and supported by helicopters providing cooling action to reinforce efforts along the Beef Trail Creek Forest Service Road.

“Crews will continue to look for opportunities to construct guard along the southern flank if conditions allow. Structure protection crews will be conducting assessments along the Dean River Road and will establish structure protection sprinklers where they deem necessary.”

The Dusty Lake wildfire 2.3 kilometres east of Dusty Lake is estimated to be 2800 hectares in size.

Ground crews will be getting started building guard where it is safe to do so.

The Miner Lake Complex Information Team said hot and dry conditions are contributing to aggressive fire behavior on all flanks of this fire.
