Elephant Hill (formerly known as Ashcroft Reserve)

This fire is currently 61500.0 hectares (estimated). This wildfire is estimated at approximately 61,500 hectares in size. It is important to note that the recent changes in size estimates have been primarily due to better mapping. In the last 48 hours some of the area increase has been due to fire growth. Please see details below.

Ground crews and heavy equipment will continue to focus on building fuel breaks in an effort to protect property and values adjacent to the wildfire. This wildfire is being monitored by our operations staff including helicopter coordinators. Aerial support is assigned where necessary.

Fire behaviour increased yesterday in the Loon Lake and south/southeast areas yesterday. Resources are currently working in these areas to address escapes and maintain containment as necessary. The small escapes that occurred on the east and southeast flanks on July 23, 2017, are now contained.

Crews continue to lay hose on the west flank into the Northwest corner.

Crews work to build handguard in the southeast corner (Division B) where dozers cannot access, and prepare for controlled burn(s) to anchor guard construction to further secure the protection of ranch lands and Cache Creek.

Specialists continue with assessing danger trees, and ground crews continue with mop-up and equipment demobilization in Division A (most southerly end) and Division C (West flank). Ground crews continue to construct guard northwest of Hihium Lake to restrict fire spread towards structures.

Structural protection crews are working 24hrs conducting assessments, establishing sprinkler systems on properties, and protecting values.

An infrared heat scan was conducted in the Loon Lake area and Division A to determine where there continues to be hotspots. The results of this scan will be assessed this morning.

If conditions permit, there may be controlled burning operations today and smoke will be visible.

A second fire camp in currently being set up in Clinton. The current camp will remain in Cache Creek.

The public is reminded this fire is still out of control, and areas within the perimeter are very dangerous. An area restriction has been put in place, in an effort to keep crews and the public safe, and to allow the BC Wildfire Service to continue suppression efforts in an efficient manner.

The BC Wildfire Service is working closely with other agencies in an effort to protect life, property and critical infrastructure.
