We were told to expect some flareups and smoke from inside of the containment area of the fire.

Today we got up to our high of 28° and it looks like there is some smoke rising from the #UnderwoodFire.

I am sure there are lots of eyeballs on it. Thanks to BCWF.

Hooray! #UnderwoodFire has been reclassified from "Out of Control" to "Being Held". Its total area has also decreased by about 100ha to 3548 hectares.

The evacuation order and alerts were also updated yesterday. China Creek Campground is no longer on evacuation order but the road is closed.

That said, the weather will warm back up today. High to 28°C today and in the 30s through the weekend. ☀️

stay safe out there.

Have restored forecasts and data to the frontpage of the website. For some reason the tabs have stopped working *sometimes* (seems to be ok on phone/tablet, but not desktop).

I'll keep working on it.
