There is a new out of control wildfire in the northwest and is believed to be human-caused.
The wildfire started out as 40 hectares but now has grown to 293 hectares between Highway 16 and the Skeena, just south of Cedarvale.
The Regional District of Kitmat-Stikine had issued an Evacuation alert for Cedarvale and Koonwats 7 area on Thursday July 23 since then has been rescinded.
The fire was discovered just before midnight last night and is the only one in the Northwest Fire Centre currently listed as out of control.
