The BC Wildfire Service says more smoke may be seen coming from the Harrop Creek fire as they respond to a 15-hectare spot fire that is 750 metres outside of the main fire perimeter.
These fires are about 10 kilometres south of Harrop and Procter. As of this afternoon, the Harrop Creek wildfire covered an estimated 2,136 hectares. These fires are burning in difficult terrain and producing a lot of smoke that may be visible from nearby communities.
Neither fire is currently threatening any communities or structures.
The spot fire occurred northeast of the main fire perimeter and is now burning toward the south and back into the main fire. Sixty BC Wildfire Service personnel continue to build fire guards with the support of three helicopters and three pieces of heavy equipment.
