Damage from the Bush Creek East fire/via BC Wildfire Service
This recent rain, while helping fire crews battle the fires, are also giving the BC Wildfire Service a better ability to map-out the three fires on either side of Kamloops.
The Ross Moore Lake fire is now mapped out at roughly 72.5-square kilometers in size.
While it has continued to grow, it has not made any progression toward Kamloops, with the north edge holding at about 10-kilometers from the city.
This is up from the previous estimate of 62.4-square kilometers.
To the northeast of Kamloops, the Lower East Adams Lake fire is now listed at around 65-square kilometers in size.
This is up from the previous estimate of around 48-square kilometers.
The Bush Creek East fire has grown to over 30-square kilometers, up from just under 18-square kilometers at the previous estimate.
Over 100 properties on either side of Adams Lake remain on evacuation orders due to both those fires.
