The BC Wildfire Service says there is no immediate threat to recreational buildings, a campground or critical infrastructure in the vicinity of the Comox Lake fire.
The 4.5-hectare wildfire near Comox Lake Northwest of Cumberland remains out of control at this time.
The fire is believed to be human caused and was discovered on Monday.
It’s located north of the Comox Bluffs Ecological Reserve and the smoke is visible in the Comox Valley.
The BC Wildfire Service says 22 firefighters and two officers are now assigned to the fire, with support from two helicopters, and air tanker and skimmer support is available if needed.
The wildfire service says efforts to contain the blaze are having success, but it faced a challenge on the fire’s west flank where terrain was too steep for air tankers to reach.
