Wapiti Fire
Publication Type: News - 10/08/2024 - 09:18

The warm and dry weather will continue, and afternoon winds are predicted for 10/8/24 with gusts up to 25mph. There is some heat on the northwest side of the Frog fire within the current perimeter, and firefighters are extinguishing it with backpack pumps. On the Wapiti fire, firefighters removed slash around Stanley Lake Road and back hauled hose and pumps from the fireline.

Today, firefighters are extinguishing heat sources in the Copper Mountain area, and making sure the fire doesn’t expand beyond its current footprint. Engines are working along the Hwy 21 corridor, and crews are removing logs and slash from the 649 Road to the 530 Road on the interior of the fire. A crew is working to restore the Kettle Creek Road access to the water system.

These fact sheets will be updated as necessary, based on fire activity.
