The BC Wildfire Service has sent teams to extinguish a wildfire on southern Vancouver Island on Wednesday.
The fire was first reported on Tuesday afternoon near Tugwell Creek, a remote area north of Sooke and Shirley.
Fire information officer Gordon Robinson says firefighters worked overnight to quell the fire, which was burning at a rank of two to three, representing a low to moderate vigorous surface fire. The fire is still estimated to be 1.5 hectares large as of Wednesday morning, and had lessened to a rank one fire, or smouldering ground fire.
