The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) saw no overnight growth to the Scatchard Mountain wildfire.
As of Tuesday morning, July 1, the blaze was estimated to be 35 hectares in size, as it was when the BCWS provided its final update on Monday, June 30, the day the human-caused fire was discovered.
"The unit crew assigned to this fire overnight made good progress supported by two Night Vision Imaging System helicopters," the BCWS said in a Tuesday, July 1 update on the fire.
Two initial attack crews and one unit crew will continue suppression efforts on Tuesday, with air support on standby 鈥� to be engaged "as needed to support crew鈥檚 efforts as we move into the heat of the day."
BCWS said crews will continue focusing efforts on the fire's north and south flanks.
An evacuation order issued June 30 by the Neskonlith Indian Band remains in effect, as does an evacuation alert issued by the Thompson Nicola Regional District.
BCWS noted the fire is highly visible from the Trans-Canada Highway, which remains open at this time, though the public is encouraged to check Drive BC for additional information.
