The Shetland Creek wildfire in British Columbia, which destroyed multiple homes, is now considered "held," meaning it is not expected to spread further. However, firefighters will still need to extinguish hot spots within the perimeter. The fire is still listed as one of the four wildfires of note in the province, posing a threat to public safety and infrastructure.
