PORT ALBERNI - Firefighters on Vancouver Island say a "significant" amount of rainfall has helped crews to make progress in battling an out-of-control wildfire, which is burning south of Port Alberni, B.C.

The BC Wildfire Service says that crews are seeing improvement on the Mount Underwood wildfire after the area has received more than 30 millimetres of rain since Thursday, leading to minimal fire growth over the past 24 hours.
