A wildfire discovered Sunday on the Lions Head bluff overlooking Robson is under control. The BC Wildfire Service has pegged the fire at 0.03 hectares and says it is suspected to be human-caused.
It’s one of three Castlegar-area wildfires burning, although none poses any risk to homes.
The largest is the 182.5-hectare fire on the north side of Mount Mackie, west of the city, which was discovered Aug. 3 and is also under control. Lightning is the suspected cause.
A 12.5-hectare fire northwest of Syringa Creek Park, discovered July 2, is also under control and is also suspected to have been caused by lightning.
