The Strip Creek fire, along the Sea to Sky Highway between Lions Bay and Horseshoe Bay, is at 4.5 hectares in size, according to Dorthe Jakobsen, fire Information officer with the Coastal Fire Centre.

It is under control and "quiet," she said in an email to The Squamish Chief.

Friday, the BC Wildfire Services did not have any firefighters on the fire.

Crews will return to patrol it early next week to see if any hot spots can be detected, once the rain moves through the area.

This fire is believed to have been human-caused.

So far this year, 446 wildfires have been sparked in B.C., 28 of which were discovered in the last seven days, according to the B.C. Wildfire Dashboard.

Twenty-eight wildfires are currently active in B.C.
