Rock Creek fire grows but partially contained

A mixed bag of news from the Rock Creek wildfire today.

It is now 25% contained which is the first time BC Wildfire Officials have confirmed that level of overall progress.

However the total size of the fire has grown by about 10% to over 4,200 hectares.

The new growth is along the south east flank.
