VICTORIA — BC Wildfire Service said an out-of-control wildfire burning on Vancouver Island near Cameron Lake could generate smoke for the "coming weeks, and potentially the coming months."

The warning appears in a video that BCWS posted to its Facebook page Sunday as part of a larger update on the Wesley Ridge wildfire.

"The public will be seeing smoke at the height of land here on Wesley Ridge for the coming weeks, and potentially, the coming months," said operations sections chief Beau Michaud while seen standing on a temporary helicopter landing pad fashioned out of logs.

But Michaud added that he does not expect the fire to impact Highway 4 connecting communities along the western shore of Vancouver Island with communities on the eastern shore.
