A wildfire west of Ymir has grown to 335 hectares after two smaller fires merged together.
The fire at Cultus Creek was discovered on Aug. 30 and is believed to have been caused by lightning.
The BC Wildfire Service says the out-of-control blaze is burning in steep, inaccessible terrain that is unsafe for ground crews to access.
Instead, the fire is being monitored and managed using a combination of techniques aimed at minimizing damage while maximizing potential ecological benefits.
There are currently no area restrictions in place as a result of the blaze.
