A series of small wildfires have sprouted up throughout the West Kootenay and Creston Valley.
BC Wildfire officials say three are clustered on the northeast part of Trout Lake, with the biggest being 0.6 hectares.
There is another smaller blaze just east of there, in addition to fires northwest of Syringa Park in the Castlegar area and northwest of the Needles Ferry landing.
There are all suspected to be caused by lightning.
Officials are sure what sparked the other small wildfire near Riondel.
All are considered out of control, meaning officials expect them to spread beyond their current perimeters or control lines.
