After a hot weekend and lightning strikes sparking multiple wildfires on Vancouver Island, the B.C. Wildfire Service says none are out of control.
Seven wildfires started on Vancouver Island over the Labour Day long weekend, likely from a thunder and lightning storm Sunday night.
Two of the fires started near the Nanaimo River, one of which is now under control while the other is being held.
Meanwhile four started near Gold River, two of which are being held, one is under control, and the other is now out.
The last fire started in Juan De Fuca Park on the west coast of the Island and is now under control.
All the fires that started over the weekend were 0.1 hectares in size or smaller.
