There were 70 new spot fires started in the Cariboo Fire Centre region Tuesday night, with the majority of them ignited by lightning strikes.

The closet to Sheridan Lake is the fire at Bonaparte Lake and we are getting a little smokey haze over the lake today. The fire is less than one hectare in size and they have a significant number of firefighters backed up by helicopter and air tanker support working the fire.
