The BC Wildfire Service says the Ross Moore Lake fire, south of Kamloops, is no longer considered a fire of note.

The lightning-caused fire is currently being held at 114 square kilometres in size thanks to “the hard work of firefighters, pilots, heavy equipment operators, structural protection specialists, technical specialists and support staff.”

“The fire has received precipitation over the last few days, and fire activity has significantly reduced,” the Wildfire Service said in a Twitter thread on Wednesday evening.

“Crews continue extinguishing hot spots in the fire’s southwestern corner and on the northeast flank. They will also remove any remaining firefighting equipment from the area.”

An area restriction order that prohibits most public access to the area is expected to remain in effect until noon on Oct. 3.

The fire ignited on July 21 and at one point saw as many as 344 properties put on evacuation order.

All evacuation orders were rescinded in early September, while the last of the evacuation alerts were lifted on Sept. 12.

“Nearby communities can expect to see smoke within the perimeter,” the Wildfire Service added. “This is common with large wildfires and will continue until significant rainfall or snowfall. Smoke coming from within a fire’s perimeter, surrounded by burned material, this is typically not a concern.”

“The BC Wildfire Service would like to thank the community surrounding the Ross Moore Lake wildfire for their support throughout the summer.”
