The 5.2 hectare blaze was discovered on Sunday and was first reported as out of control.
Fire Information Officer, Nicole Bonnett told MyPGNow.com crews made great progress over the long-weekend.
“They had completed putting guard around the fire perimeter and had completed a ten-foot wet line on both the north and west flanks and then when they went back out yesterday morning (Tuesday) we had received a bunch of precipitation on site while the crews were out there.”
“Yesterday was a lot of hot spot extinguishment and patrols to locate additional hot spots and then that same work is occurring with the crews that are on-site.”
There are 95 active wildfires in the Prince George Fire Centre, most of which are holdovers from 2023.
