The Northwest Fire Centre says it may be dealing with a flare-up from one of last season’s wildfires.
BC Wildfire Service crews are on their way to assess the situation after reports of smoke south of Francois Lake.
Information Officer Carolyn Bartos says the smoke is in the perimeter of 2018’s Verdun Mountain wildfire.
Bartos says the fire is reported as well under one hectare on Eakin Settlement Road near Ootsa Lake.
The Northwest Fire Centre is asking residents to be on the lookout for holdover fires from last year that may flare up this spring.
