KAMLOOPS – Spotty showers, cooler temperatures, and decreased winds, have allowed fire fighters to make good headway on the Spatsum Creek wildfire. With no additional growth yesterday, the fire remains estimated at 1,400 hectares in size.
Over 110 fire fighters are on site today, assisted by six helicopters and five water tenders. More crews are continuing to arrive and a Type One Incident Management Team is now in place. A fire camp will be implemented for tomorrow.
