BC Wildfire Service has deployed resources to two suspicious fires near Port Alberni, just west of Roger Creek.  

Senior project manager, Sam Bellion, says the BC Wildfire Service became aware of the two spot brush fires this morning and there is no immediate danger, but they are keeping an eye on the situation. 

“We are comfortable with the resources on scene, and the current fire behavior, that crews will be able to effectively be able to suppress these fires,” she says.
