No further updates will be posted on this website as it is no longer considered to be a Wildfire of Note.

Due to significant effort from the BC Wildfire Service and provincial, First Nation, national and international partner agencies, much of the White Rock Lake wildfire (K61884) is Under Control. However, the fire burning above the Banks Creek Drainage has yet to burn its way down to the pre-established control line and therefore is not considered Under Control. This section of the fire will continue to burn freely and put up smoke until it reaches the control lines where crews can safely extinguish the fires edge. As a result, although much of the fire has already received sufficient suppression action to ensure no further spread, as of Sept. 10, the White Rock Lake wildfire has been reclassified back to Being Held.
