A wildfire burning at the 17.5-mile area of Squamish Valley Road came within 100 feet of a home on Tuesday.
The BC Wildfire Service firefighters and the homeowner were prepared for the approach.
"It was known and it was prepared for and there are sprinklers on the home and there was no danger at any time," said Dorthe Jacobson, with the Coastal Fire Service.
Rain that started overnight Tuesday and continued into Wednesday is helping combat the blaze.
On Wednesday afternoon, the fire, which started Monday afternoon, remained at 50 hectares in size, according to the BC Wildfire Service.
It is a Rank 1 to 2 fire, meaning it is smouldering with flames on the ground.
With higher ranked fires, flames are visible.
The Squamish Valley Road remains open but all non-essential travel is discouraged, according to the SLRD, as fire crews and vehicles may be on the road in the firework zone.
On Wednesday, 11 firefighters were on scene.
The helicopter working Monday and Tuesday was grounded by clouds Wednesday morning.
The rain, though welcome, makes it very dangerous for firefighters on some of the steep slopes where the fire is smouldering, Jacobson said.
"Some of the areas where this fire is burning are quite tricky," she said.
According to BC Wildfire Service, the blaze does not currently pose a threat to people or structures and is moving upslope, away from the valley.
A homeowner burning slash reportedly caused the fire, though an investigation is ongoing.
The Chief will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
