Send this page to someone via emailWildfire officials say better visibility on the Bald Range wildfire is expected on Monday, but atmospheric instability is expected to push smoke from the nearby Brunswick Creek wildfire into the region.
The sun could contribute to increased fire behaviour, with pockets of intermittent candling, the BC Wildfire Service said in an update.
The BC Wildfire Service said the Bald Range fire grew approximately one to 1.5 kilometres on the northwestern and southern portions on Sunday night, but forecasted winds of 40 to 50 kilometres per hour did not materialize to the extent anticipated.
