Adventure Bay Road Wildfire update – smoke expected, ongoing monitoring continues

Vernon Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) crews remained on site overnight at the Adventure Bay Road wildfire, with two personnel monitoring conditions. A few small spot fires flared up during the night, but the fire stayed within the established perimeter.

Today, crews are continuing mop-up efforts, targeting hot spots and reinforcing the perimeter line. Conditions remain stable, and the wildfire continues to be classified as Under Control.

One large stump within the burned area is still producing visible smoke and may continue to smoulder for several days. This is not a concern at this time, but residents may continue to see smoke in the area.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

VFRS will continue to monitor the site, and the City of Vernon will provide further updates if conditions change significantly.
