The OKIB and RDNO noted the fire may have damaged structures or created hazards on properties, and urged people be cautious when returning home.

As of time of publication the Bradley Creek wildfire was still estimated at 2,649.5 hectares and classified as Being Held, indicating it was unlikely to spread beyond the current boundaries.

The B.C. Wildfire Service had a number of resources assigned to both this and the Quilpituk Creek wildfire south of Fintry including 129 firefighter, 10 helicopters, 29 pieces of heavy equipment and 32 structure protection personnel. The BCWS stated the entire Bradley Creek wildfire had been surrounded by a fire guard as of Tuesday morning, and that crews were working along the northern and southern flanks to do mop-up work while helicopters drop water from above.

The BCWS reminded people to not fly drones or unauthorized aircraft into wildfire areas as it disrupts and puts aerial resources at risk, and also urged boaters to stay clear of the fire areas so helicopters and airtankers can safely collect water.
