Two Fires Within CKTZs Broadcast Area
CKTZ fire update as of 9:30 AM, May 31, 2018 - There are currently two fires within our broadcast area. Yesterday a fire was reported 20 kilometres west of Campbell River in a heavily timbered part of Strathcona Provincial Park. It is less than a hectare in extent and being held. The status of a larger fire in the Discovery Islands has been downgraded. Though it is still spread across eight hectares, the Read Island fire is under control.
Read Island Fire Is Still Out Of Control
Earlier reports that Read Island’s wildfire was only 3 hectares were incorrect. More accurate mapping shows it actually spreads over 8 hectares. BC Wildfire spokesperson Jeanne Larsen says there is reason to hope the status will soon be downgraded but, technically speaking, after three days of intense fighting the Read Island fire is still out of control.
