Brunswick Complex wildfires exceed 60,000 hectares in British Columbia

wildfires British Columbia Brunswick Complex evacuation orders BC Wildfire Service

The Brunswick Complex wildfires in British Columbia have grown to over 60,000 hectares, comprising the 61,618-hectare Ainslie Creek wildfire and the 8,818-hectare Brunswick Creek wildfire. Fire activity at the Brunswick Creek blaze has increased due to northerly winds, and crews are working to establish control lines to the south. Highway 1 remains closed for a 38-kilometre stretch due to ongoing rockfall hazards.

In the Bradley Creek wildfire complex, which includes the Quilpituk Creek wildfire, fire activity has been predominantly limited to smouldering ground fire with no visible open flames. The Quilpituk Creek fire is currently out of control and covers approximately 1,275.7 hectares. Response efforts for the Bradley Creek complex include 113 firefighters, seven helicopters, 38 pieces of heavy equipment, and 25 structure protection members.

Twelve evacuation orders and 17 evacuation alerts remain in effect across the Brunswick Complex. BC Hydro is also working to reenergize powerlines and assess danger trees along Westside Road, which remains closed.
