Campers at Harrison Lake in B.C.’s Fraser Valley may have to find alternative plans due to an out-of-control wildfire that was first detected on Tuesday evening. The Bear Creek fire covers an area of 65 hectares as of 5 p.m. PT on Wednesday, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS). First responders are asking the public to stay off Harrison Lake, and fire information officer Julia Caranci says that some campers in the vicinity were already asked to leave for their own safety. …The fire is suspected to be human-caused. …BCWS data shows a blaze south of Lytton, B.C., that has triggered multiple evacuation alerts is three times its original estimated size and continues to burn out of control. The service’s latest update on the Cantilever Bar wildfire says it is now measured at 4.6 square kilometres, up from the 1.5 square kilometres reported earlier this week.
