The BC Wildfire Service is fully prepared to respond quickly to any wildfire activity in the Coastal Fire Centre. Although some resources are being deployed to the Interior to help fight the large fires there, sufficient firefighters and equipment will remain in the region to maintain a first response capability locally.

With temperatures this weekend expected to be above seasonal norms, the BC Wildfire Service is encouraging people who are planning recreational activities in the Harrison Lake area to use caution and remain vigilant.

As of 1800 hrs, the Harrison Lake East fire remains at an estimated 60 hectares in size.

A Notice to Leave a Specified Area Order has been issued to clear all individuals from an area near the Harrison Lake East fire.
