An 8,000-hectare fire south of Batuni Lake and east of Purdy Lake, meanwhile, is now 50 percent guarded.
BCWS said there was minimal fire activity Friday due to cooler temperatures, precipitation and increased humidity.
An evacuation alert for residents living in the area was lifted by the Cariboo Regional District.
The Cutoff Creek fire located two kilometres north of Big Bend Arm is still classified as being held.
