B.C. wildfire crews will be checking the site of the Magee Road fire in the Upper Squamish Valley this week for any remaining hot spots.
The fire began two weeks ago, on April 15, and is believed to be human-caused, according to the BC Wildfire Service.
At its peak, the fire raged over 203 hectares and displaced between 60 to 100 people and destroyed three houses, and other structures such as sheds and cabins on its path, according to Squamish-Lillooet Regional District estimates.
The area received a fair amount of rain over the weekend, which helped keep it dampened down, said Marg Drysdale, fire information officer at the Coastal Fire Centre.
"They are going to be checking the area fairly frequently over the next week to see if any visual smokes pop up," she said.
Crews are also waiting for a sunnier day so they can go up and do an aerial infrared scan on the fire area.
"They want to make sure they get any residual hot spots that may have gone deeper. It does take some hot weather sometimes, if they have gone down pretty deep, for them to come back up to the surface."
There were some areas on the slope that weren't as accessible, so they will be checking on those in particular.
Until the scan, all crews can do is check on it with drivebys and walkthroughs, she said.
