Crews will continue to mop up at a depth of 200 feet after achieving a 100 foot mop up for 95 per cent of the fire perimeter.

With the fire now under control BC Wildfire Service will be directing all resources to focus on mop up operations so that other resources can be re-deployed to other wildfires.
