The BC Wildfire Service says a fire near Gold River has grown, prompting action from fire crews.
According to the BC Wildfire Service dashboard, the Herber River fire north of Gold River was started on Sept. 6 by lightning.
The fire was not being targeted directly by fire crews because of its location. The service says the fire is burning in very difficult-to-access terrain and was being monitored.
A monitored response means trigger points are set up and if the fire starts to get near those points action might be required, according to the service.
They say the fire has now increased to about 120 hectares in size. A 20-person Salish Unit Crew is en route to the fire as of Wednesday afternoon.
BC Wildfire Service says there is no danger to communities or infrastructure at this time.
