The Donnie Creek Wildfire flared up on Friday. It is burning out of control near the Beatton River and has grown to 3 hectares in size.
The fire was discovered just after noon on Friday. According the BC Wildfire Service it was caused by a dry lightning strike, which means it occurred without rain nearby.
