The BC Wildfire Service is assisting the Hixon Fire Department in response to the Naver Creek wildfire detected north of Hixon, 53 kilometres south of Prince George.
There are 19 BC Wildfire Service personnel on site along with helicopters and airtankers.
The blaze is out of control, 45 hectares in size and is believed to be human caused.
Due to aggressive fire behaviour, there is potential for impact to Highway 97. For up-to-date information on highway closures, visit www.DriveBC.ca.
In addition, a four hectare blaze 30km’s down along the Willow Cale Forest Service Road is also burning out of control.
Suppression actions are being taken to limit the spread.
