McLeese Lake wildfire person-caused A wildfire at McLeese Lake near Robertson Road, Wednesday was person-caused and is under investigation said Cariboo Fire Centre information officer Greig Bethel Thursday. “Apparently, the fire was burning in an open field and moved into standing timber,” Bethel said. “It has been re-estimated at 1.3 hectares in size, down from the 1.5.” The fire was brought under control by Cariboo Fire Centre/ Wildfire Management Branch crews with bucket support from helicopters and heavy equipment on Wednesday evening by about
8 p.m. An airtanker also actioned the fire on Wednesday afternoon. Approximately 16 WMB personnel returned to the site Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m. to continue putting out hot spots. “It looks like things are moving toward mop-up at this time,” Bethel said. Helicopters and airtankers in action during Wednesday’s wildfire at McLeese Lake near Robertson Road was spotted by local resort owners. Bob Kelly photo
