The other two fires never grew above spot fire size, and were located at Denike Creek and Riddle Creek. Both of those fires were under control as of Tuesday afternoon.

Further south, past Keremeos, two other wildfires were still burning.
One, located at Gillander’s Creek, has reached 86 hectares since it was discovered on July 13. That fire is currently under a modified response meaning it is largely being monitored instead of actively suppressed.
The fire is largely in an area that was burned in a wildfire several years earlier according to the Kamloops Fire Centre.
A nearby fire at Crater Creek was listed at 4.1 hectares as of the latest update on Sunday, July 23.
All of the fires are believed to be naturally caused by lightning.
