The Christie Mountain wildfire is still being held in check, but it91裸聊视频檚 still giving crews something to contend with.

The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) said Saturday morning that part of the fire jumped the retardant lines on its eastern flank.

91裸聊视频淭he fire moved out of an area that was inaccessible for crews, past a retardant line and down into a ravine,91裸聊视频 BCWS said in a status update on its website. 91裸聊视频淐rews are actively working the area with aircraft.91裸聊视频

The 2,122.5-hectare fire just north of Okanagan Falls was classified as 91裸聊视频渉eld91裸聊视频 on Aug. 25, and a rescinded evacuation alert allowed residents of 319 properties in Heritage Hills to return home that day.

Crews have been burning out small pockets of fuel on the east flank. BCWS says that helps to 91裸聊视频渞educe fire behaviour and to bring the fire to more accessible ground for crews to solidify control of the fire.91裸聊视频

Residents can expect to see smoke in the area as a result.

On Friday, the BCWS confirmed lightning to be the cause of the blaze, which started on Aug. 18.
