VIDEO: A fire burning northeast of Prospect has grown to 10 acres. According to ODF, crews responded to the Bessie Creek Fire on Tuesday. The fire was 60% lined and 20% mopped up as of 5:30 p.m.
No evacuations have been ordered at this time. Natalie Weber with ODF says it just goes to show the moment the weather starts to get warmer and windier, there is the potential for fire.
โItโs a good reminder as weโre getting closer to the [fire] season that now is the time to be preparing. That potential does exist and until we get some rain, fires will continue to be able to spread,โ Weber said.
