A cabin was destroyed by a wildfire burning along Shuswap Lake in a remote area southwest of Seymour Arm. The Mount Grice-Hutchinson fire is now 7.9 hectares and is believed to be human-caused. “In an effort to protect the additional cabins in the boat-only area, the BC Wildfire Service has deployed a structure protection unit,” the Columbia Shuswap Regional District said Thursday. The unit will install multiple sprinkler systems around the structures. Details about the cabin that was “totally lost” in the fire are not available. An evacuation alert has been issued for cabins in the Mount Grice-Hutchinson area. The fire is burning in heavy timber on a west-facing slope with Class 1 and 2 fire behavior — primarily a smoldering fire with an open flame and a slow rate of spread. The BC Wildfire Service is attacking the fire with ground and air resources, including helicopters and air tankers. Citizens are asked to stay away from the area to avoid interference with firefighting operations. Photo: BCWS Location of the Mount Grice-Hutchinson Fire
