UPDATE: 10 p.m.

The Crowfoot Mountain wildfire remains at an estimated .3 hectares, however, BC Wildfire is now reporting the blaze is suspected to be lightning caused. 

"This fire was caused by a dry lightning strike which means it occurred without rain nearby," stated BC Wildfire Service.

Two wildfires discovered Monday in the Shuswap are now under control, while another two have been added to the BC Wildfire Service's wildfire situation map. 

The spot-sized Bruhn Creek wildfire southwest of Adams Lake was knocked out by Monday afternoon, July 22, as was the Queest Creek wildfire near Anglemont. The Anglemont Fire Department responded to the latter, sharing on the department's Facebook page that "It was a good turn out of members and a quick response time to today鈥檚 lightening strike," referring to a thunderstorm that rolled through the regional early Monday morning. 

The Crowfoot Mountain wildfire was discovered northwest of the Queest Creek fire just after 3 p.m. on Monday. As of 5 p.m. the fire was estimated to be .3 hectares in size. Also around 3 p.m., the Upper Violet Creek was discovered in the Larch Hills area, west of Rosemond Lake. In its 4:30 p.m. wildfire update, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) said the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) was aware of these fires. 

Regarding the 220-hecatere Mara Mountain wildfire burning southeast of Sicamous, the BCWS is continuing to use aircraft to monitor it and "does not believe there is any threat to the surrounding communities." The CSRD noted this fire is not accessible for ground crews.
