The Christie Mountain wildfire is still being held in check, but it香蕉视频直播檚 still giving crews something to contend with.
The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) said Saturday morning that part of the fire jumped the retardant lines on its eastern flank.
香蕉视频直播淭he fire moved out of an area that was inaccessible for crews, past a retardant line and down into a ravine,香蕉视频直播� BCWS said in a status update on its website. 香蕉视频直播淐rews are actively working the area with aircraft.香蕉视频直播�
The 2,122.5-hectare fire just north of Okanagan Falls was classified as 香蕉视频直播渉eld香蕉视频直播� on Aug. 25, and a rescinded evacuation alert allowed residents of 319 properties in Heritage Hills to return home that day.
Crews have been burning out small pockets of fuel on the east flank. BCWS says that helps to 香蕉视频直播渞educe fire behaviour and to bring the fire to more accessible ground for crews to solidify control of the fire.香蕉视频直播�
Residents can expect to see smoke in the area as a result.
On Friday, the BCWS confirmed lightning to be the cause of the blaze, which started on Aug. 18.
