UPDATE: 1:15 p.m.
A massive wildfire burning out of control northwest of Kamloops has grown again, but the blaze is no closer to city limits.
Mapping updated on Wednesday by the BC Wildfire Service pegs the Sparks Lake fire at about 500 square kilometres — 49,965 hectares. That's an increase of more than 2,000 hectares from the previous mapping, completed on Monday.
The fire’s southeast perimeter is still about 24 kilometres northwest of Kamloops city limits at Tranquille. The BCWS has said most of the fire's activity has been in the northeast section near Criss Creek and Bonaparte Lake.
