Cautious optimism after rain helps quell Mount Underwood wildfire near Port Alberni, B.C.
Officials on Vancouver Island say 33 millimetres of rain on Friday helped to curb the flames of the Mount Underwood wildfire, which is burning about 8 kilometres south of Port Alberni, B.C. The fire is now estimated at around 36 square kilometres, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service, and is still classified as out of control. But officials say the rain reduced it to a mostly smoldering fire. "The rain did a lot, it minimized fire behaviour. Temporarily, it will minimize fire spread," said incident commander Stefan Hood with the wildfire service. "But that certainly doesn't mean that the work is done. Really and truly, the work is only just beginning." The wildfire service says the reprieve from the hot, dry, windy weather from the past few days will give crews better access to the wildfire and allow them to focus on its perimeter to keep it from spreading any closer to the City of Port Alberni, where residents have been on edge the past few days monitoring the flames. Port Alberni Mayor Sharie Minions and officials with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District say all evacuation orders and alerts are still in place, including the order for the China Creek campground and the alert for parts of the Cameron Heights neighbourhood on the southern edge of the city. "We have reason for hope, but people should still be prepared because we don't know everything that could occur," said John Jack, the district's chair and the elected chief councillor for the Huu-ay-aht First Nations. Bamfield still without power Jack confirmed that Bamfield, a remote community on the west coast of Vancouver Island, is still without power. He says regional officials are working to set up hot shower and laundry facilities for those who need it. Wildfire growth near Port Alberni unusual for Vancouver Island: wildfire service 2 days ago An out-of-control fire south of Port Alberni has grown to more than 34 square kilometres. The Mount Underwood wildfire was discovered on Monday and doubled in size in 24 hours. The B.C. Wildfire Service describes the blaze as aggressive and explosive and says the rapid growth is due to a severe drought. The power went out in Bamfield on Monday, the night the fire started. The main road between Port Alberni and Bamfield is closed due to the fire, but a secondary route to Youbou in the Cowichan Valley is available for essential travel only. Some businesses in Bamfield have expressed concern that the situation will diminish their income during the busy tourist season, which sustains many business owners for the rest of the year. During the media briefing on Saturday, Mayor Minions addressed business owners in Port Alberni who had expressed similar concerns. "We are aware of your struggles, we are advocating to the provincial government for resources into the community," she said. Air quality improves Wildfire officials said air quality was a great concern in the past few days but as of Saturday, air quality throughout the mid-island region had greatly improved. "Driving into Port Alberni this morning I was on the phone with my mother and I painted a picture for her that I saw a beautiful rainbow over the inlet and the mountains and the clouds, and the sun poking through," said Hood. Two clean air centres are still open to the public in Port Alberni as a precaution. "Right here in Port Alberni it's quite a lovely day," he said.

The coast guard says the 180-metre-long bulk carrier will be towed to Montreal where it will be unloaded fully and inspected. The ship became stuck near Verchères, Que., at around 5:45 a.m. Tuesday, following a complete loss of engines. No one was injured and no pollution was observed. Transport Canada will take over the case once the ship is docked. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 16, 2025.
