BCWF still has it listed as 1 hectare. It is definitely more than that. (Looks like 20-50)

No updates on resources to the fire yet.

BC Wildfire now has #WesleyRidge fire at 20ha. No indication that any firefighters assigned.

There is smoke over the Alberni Valley but thankfully air quality has not been impacted. Excellent readings across the Island.

You can find a current Air Quality map on the front page of Alberniweather.ca. I will also add a direct link to BC Wildfire's maps from the homepage.

Worried about possible wind/thunderstorms this aft.

Now 40ha and "burning aggressively" in "difficult to access terrain."

but

"No imminent threat to values" (what about the railway trestles?)

They have not listed any BCWF resources being assigned other than for assessment.

Coombs and Dashwood Fire Dpt are monitoring.

Air Quality has worsened considerably in #PortAlberni the smell of fire is in the air.
