Both the Beef Trail Creek and Dusty Lake wildfires in the Chilcotin were quite stable over the weekend. Fire Information Officer for the Dean Complex, Karlee Desrosiers, said they did see quite a bit of growth on the Dusty Lake fire on Thursday (September 11) but since then we’ve seen minimal growth across the entire complex. “That can be attributed to lower wind, cooler temperatures and higher humidity than we were expecting. “We are in mop up and patrol stage on that incident. Crews continue to also mop up and patrol along the Beef Trail FSR, but the fire itself is exhibiting quite minimal fire behaviour and temperatures were very cool below zero yesterday (Monday) morning.”The Dusty Lake wildfire also saw minimal growth since last Thursday and crews are focused on keeping these fires from growing further to the South and to the North.
