Brunswick Complex Wildfires in Fraser Canyon Being Held
BC Wildfire Service said the two blazes burned 76,988 hectares as crews continue field sampling and keep resources on scene.
- The BC Wildfire Service confirmed the Brunswick Complex wildfires in the Fraser Canyon are now being held, meaning they are projected to remain within current perimeters based on resource availability and weather conditions.
- Sparked on July 2, the human-caused Brunswick Creek wildfire grew to 9,266 hectares, while Ainslie Creek expanded to 67,722 hectares after sparking on July 4 due to spotting.
- Evacuations occurred across the Fraser Valley Regional District , Thompson Nicola Regional District, and local First Nations, while the fires forced temporary closure of a stretch of Highway 1.
- Rescinding prior orders, the FVRD cancelled all evacuation alerts and orders this week, with no further emergency measures remaining in effect for the region.
- Fire activity will likely persist in the wildfire interior until winter due to extreme drought conditions, though BCWS noted that continued smoke or flames represent a natural part of landscape healing.
