Creston Valley crews are getting considerable wildfire fighting experience.
A wild Wednesday started at about 11:30 a.m.
It involved a crew of 22 utilizing 11 fire trucks.
They knocked down a 5-thousand square metre blaze in the Lakeview Arrow Creek area and spent several hours putting out hot spots.
At about 3:30 in the afternoon, the Creston Fire Department got reports of smoke billowing out of the Corn Creek Valley.
Eight Creston fire fighters who had finished up in Lakeview Arrow Creek teamed up with four counterparts from the BC Wildfire Service.
They rode a UTV and found a route to the remote blaze off Evans Rd.
They used hand tools and water back packs to prevent those flames from spreading to nearby homes. There were no injuries.
