The Monashee Complex started at 27 fires in the drainages of Mabel and Sugar lakes from just south of Hwy 6 in the south to Three Valley Gap in the north.
The Monashee Complex has four Fires of Note:
Woodward Creek, Mabel Creek, Sugar Mountain and Harris Creek. These fires are in full response sustained
action.
The remainder of the fires burning in the Monashee Complex are either full response monitor-only fires or as full response – modified fires.
Priority fires are assessed and evaluated based on their potential threat first to lives and safety, second to property and third to values like critical infrastructure and industry interests.
HARRIS CREEK
This wildfire is now estimated at 700 hectares in size. This increase is due to an excursion that took place on the eastern flank.
We have 107 personnel on site today, 60 of which are from the Canadian Armed Forces. We also have ten pieces of heavy equipment Crews will reinforce control lines in preparation for burn operations to take place in the next few days, conditions permitting. Efforts will also be focused on completing a fuel free/containment line on the East flank. Heavy equipment is working on this firaround the clock.
