Growing wildfires continue to threaten residents and property in B.C.’s Fraser Canyon.
The Brunswick Complex fires are flaring up, tearing through the forest and burning ever closer to Boston Bar.
The Ainslie Creek fire is now estimated to be more than 15,500 hectares in size, and the Brunswick Creek fire across the river is now at an estimated 2,600 hectares.
Wildfire crews are throwing everything at the out-of-control blaze that’s already destroyed a number of homes.
Among the hardest hit is Blue Lake Resort north of Boothroyd.

The driveway to the resort is now lined with downed trees and debris is scattered everywhere.
“As far as sleeping, you can’t sleep anyways because every time, you know, everything comes to your head and you’re just thinking of this little thing, that little thing,” Saeed Mansouri, operations manager at the resort who lost his house in the fire, said.
“Yeah, this is how it is, but spirit is up.”
A GoFundMe has been set up for Mansouri and his wife to rebuild their home.
An evacuation alert is in place due to the Ainslie Creek wildfire and there are two evacuation alerts and seven evacuation orders in place for the Brunswick Creek fire.
A GoFundMe has also been set up to begin rebuilding homes in the Blue Lake community.
