Wildfires spark in the West Kootenay

Wildfire officials say the one-hectare blaze discovered Tuesday south of Gray Creek is being held.

Meanwhile, lightning is the suspected cause of a new small fire near West Creston.  It is also under control.

Officials aren’t sure what sparked new small fires just inside West Arm Provincial Park near Nelson and south of Nakusp.

Both are considered out of control, meaning they are likely to spread.
