The wildfire burning in Okanagan Mountain Park now stands at six hectares in size.
Fire information officer Justine Hunse, with the BC Wildfire Service, says growth in the fire was expected, but it remains within anticipated boundaries.
"It's doing what we expected it to do," said Hunse. "and we are OK with continuing a modified response."
The fire is being allowed to burn itself out, but is being monitored daily.

Burn baby burn.
Its a Park......no timber value/commercial interests.
Game populations exploded after the initial fire.
Subsequently, they have been contracting after numerous robust years.
Fire = habitat.
Habitat=game

All the regulations in world will never get in the way of this basic dynamic.
Burn baby burn.

After the initial burn and before sheep were trans located to the park, BC Parks had a plan to continue augmentation of the habitat in there .
Nothing came of the plan, no work was done, so now a natural occurrence is taking care of it.
