Fire tore through four hectares of forest on the hillside west of Perow Loop Road last Tuesday. The Topley Fire Department contained the blaze, which was burning rapidly in the high winds. Topley Fire Chief Byron Sketchley says the fire was caused by a downed power line and no buildings were damaged by the blaze. The Topley Fire Department was called in at 7 p.m. and an initial attack crew from the Wildfires Branch in Burns Lake took over the fire at 9 p.m. and did the final mop up.
