Current Wildfire Situation

Update on the wildfire - 2 kilometres north west of Quality Lake, east of Tumbler Ridge

May 15, 2012, 18:15

The fire near Quality Lake is fairly quiet right now.  Air tankers are no longer being used to on the fire but there are still three helicopters with buckets actively  working.  There are currently about twenty firefighters on the ground dealing with the fire and approximately thirty more are expected to arrive on May 16.  Bulldozers are expected to have a fire guard constructed around the entire fire by the end of the day on May 15.  If the weather cooperates the British Columbia Forest Service expects to have the fire completely extinguished in the next four or five days.
