The forest fire burning just south of Squamish, B.C., appears to be human caused, authorities say.
The blaze was reported at about 7 p.m. Saturday night in the mountains above Britannia Beach, a town of about 300 people located 30 kilometres north of Vancouver.
Rod Allen of the Wildfire Management Branch says the blaze is 100 per cent contained, but it will take crews a few more days to extinguish it fully.
The fire is 2.4 hectares large and burning uncomfortably close to area homes, but no evacuation order has been issued and Allen says locals are safe.
"There's no threat to the residents of Britannia Beach," he said.
About 35 fire fighters and two helicopters are battling the blaze. Investigators are working to determine the cause, but early signs indicate human involvement.
The area surrounding the fire has been clear-cut, but dry foliage on the forest floor is feeding the flames.
No injuries have been reported.
Resident Peter Belostotsky was among the first to report the blaze, which he described as "between two and three football fields in size."
"I live in the neighbourhood, and I looked up at the nice mountain view and boom, forest fire."
Local and provincial fire crews were at the scene by 8:30 p.m., and worked overnight to prevent the fire from spreading.
The government currently lists 12 active fires of note burning in B.C., the largest being a 470-hectare blaze in Cache Creek.
