Helicopters can be seen in Nelson this week as they refill for bucketing on Kootenay Lake. Fire Information Officer Ashley Davidoff says it’s for a small wildfire between Salmo and Creston.
She says it’s approximately 24 kilometers east of Salmo and 30 kilometers northwest of Creston.
And there’s some good news regarding a wildfire southwest of Rossland. Davidoff says the Santa Rosa Creek Wildfire is about 52 hectares in size and is currently being held.
