A fire on Quadra Island is now being held, after crews tackled it overnight and this morning with help from the Quadra Fire Department.
The fire is just east of Village Bay Lake. There are several homes in the area.
BC Wildfire Services says it’s now about 1.5 hectares in size, compared to three yesterday. Firefighters assessed the fire’s perimeter this morning and were able to stop if from spreading further
The fire is suspected to be human-caused.
No evacuation orders were issued, but people on Quadra and in Campbell River are warned about the possibility of the risk of smoke and toxic fumes, especially as weather changes are expected to bring smoke from fires on the mainland to the Island this weekend.
