Dozens of people are on evacuation alert as a new and rapidly growing wildfire rages in the East Kootenay. The 1.15 square kilometre fire was first reported Saturday about 65 kilometres north of Cranbrook. The fire is believed to be human caused - a term used for any fire not caused by lightning. Meanwhile, cooler weather has allowed for Highway One to be reopened in the Fraser Canyon where the massive Brunswick Complex fire continues to burn. The BC Wildfire Service says its crews have had to suspend some firefighting efforts due to illegal drones in the area.
