100 Mile House Fire rescue were called out Monday afternoon at 12:20 to a wildfire event on a property in the Sundman Road area.
Chief Roger Hollander says five apparatus and 13 members were on scene along with the assistance of BC Wildfire with a crew of five members to help with the terrain and steep areas.
“It appeared that there were a couple of slash piles that the owner was burning and unfortunately it got out of control and it spread to the rest of the property,” says Hollander.
“It was approximately ten hectares in size and very difficult with access to that property so it took us some time to full extinguish the fire”.
100 Mile House Fire Rescue were on scene until around 7 pm.
The fire is still under investigation.
