The Nk91裸聊视频橫ip fire continues to be an aggressive, growing fire that is threatening the Shrike Hill subdivision. On Sunday, some living in the Shrike Hill area took to Facebook asking for help.

91裸聊视频淲e need help on McCuddy, Porcupine, and Shrike Hill. There is just a handful of us here trying to keep the houses safe. I91裸聊视频檓 alone at my property and I have had to stop the fire from spreading across the fireguard they set up,91裸聊视频� posted Marty Schmidt.

Many people responded to the call for help, providing water trucks and help.

Fire growth has been observed over the last couple of days, but an accurate track has not been able to be completed due to fire behaviour and smoke conditions, stated BC Wildfire. The blaze is listed at 6,800 hectares but is predicted to jump in size once accurate mapping is available.

The Oliver Fire Department provided an update on its efforts.

91裸聊视频淭his has been an incredibly aggressive and unpredictable fire. Our crews have been going hard since the start and their hard work has paid off with the number of structures they have saved,91裸聊视频� said Oliver Fire on Facebook on Monday. 91裸聊视频淐urrently most of the fire has pushed up into the mountains outside of our protection area. However, one of our apparatus has been tasked by BC Forestry to continue supporting their efforts up McKinney Road.91裸聊视频�

Firefighting personnel and heavy equipment continued to work overnight to protect structures in/near the Shrike subdivision. Winds, persistent low relative humidity values and high temperatures have led to increased fire activity late into the evenings, said BC Wildfire.

Today, Division A is continuing work near Shrike Hill. Crews are mopping up and continuing to FireSmart structures by removing available fuels from within home ignition zones. Patrol work will continue along/near Nk91裸聊视频橫ip Road area for hot spots. Crews will be looking for burn-off operation opportunities to reinforce existing guards and protect structures.

There are a total of 146 personnel on-site, including 43 firefighters, five helicopters and 46 pieces of heavy equipment.
