VANCOUVER -- The BC Wildfire Service says a fire near Squamish, B.C., remains uncontained but did not grow overnight.
The service says in a statement Saturday morning that the fire first discovered Thursday is about two square kilometres in size.
It has classified the fire as out of control, but says weather continues to cool with only a slight wind.
The fire is 35 per cent contained, Marg Drysdale, a fire information officer, told CTV News.
Drysdale said the service currently has 38 firefighters, two helicopters and three pieces of heavy equipment deployed to fight the wildfire.
Additionally, BC Hydro has 40 employees working to restore power to homes in the area.
An out-of-control stage describes a fire that is not responding or responding in a limited way to suppression action.
The service suspects the fire is human caused and it is under investigation.
Evacuation orders and alerts put in place by the Squamish Lillooet Regional District remain in place.
