Stoddart Creek wildfire is being held, still burning inside perimeter
The Stoddart Creek wildfire remains classified as being held, meaning it is not expected to grow outside of the preset boundaries, though it continues to burn inside the fire’s perimeter.
CHARLIE LAKE, B.C. — The Stoddart Creek wildfire remains classified as being held, meaning it is not expected to grow outside the preset boundaries, though it continues to burn inside the fire’s perimeter.
BC Wildfire Services (BCWS) says there have been flare-ups within the perimeter and additional smoke, which is expected as the active fire finds unburnt fuel within the fire’s perimeter.
Despite this, the fire is expected to stay within the preset perimeter of just under 30,000 hectares.
