BCWS Working on New Wildfire Started Near Arrastra Creek West of Princeton

  • BC Wildfire Service crews worked on Saturday to contain a new wildfire near Arrastra Creek west of Princeton, British Columbia.
  • The fire started on Saturday afternoon amid a Kamloops Fire Centre open fire prohibition designed to prevent human-caused wildfires.
  • According to Fire Information Officer Shae Stearns, efforts to contain the fire were supported by a single initial attack crew, a response officer, and a helicopter providing water tanking assistance.
  • The wildfire, covering just over one hectare and classified as out of control, is believed to be human-caused, while campfire bans prohibit certain burns until October 17.
  • BCWS urges the public to report wildfire starts using their app and recommends practicing FireSmart measures to improve home safety during high-risk periods.
