More positive news on the Navar Creek wildfire near Hixon, 60 kilometres south of Prince George.
According to the BC Wildfire Service, the 80-hectare blaze is now under control after being held since Saturday.
Fire Information Officer, Pedro Roldan-Delgado told Vista Radio resources are still on scene.
“We do have a unit crew working on it with heavy equipment. So, right now, the only things that are smoking up are the slash piles that have been left there.”
Delgado commends the quick action of fire crews to quell the fire after first being reported late Friday afternoon.
The weather forecast for the PG-area consists of rain and a high of 13 degrees, something that is a welcomed sight for crews.
“With a little bit of rain it definitely helps. Rain is always a good thing on a wildfire,” added Roldan-Delgado.
He adds there are only four out of control blazes in the PG Fire Centre, all of which are in the Fort Nelson zone, some of the are wintering fires from previous years.
