The fire which grew in size Friday to close to one hectare, was first spotted on Thursday, smoke will be visible to travellers in the Copper River Road area and those that use the road are advised that flaggers could closed the road when necessary out of safety concerns.



The fire is currently inaccessible to fire suppression crews, they are keeping an eye on its path and will take action when it transfers to more workable terrain.
