BC Wildfire Service is reporting a wildfire near Mission-Wycliff Road between Cranbrook and Kimberley.

It is believed to have started on Tuesday and appears to be person-caused.

It is currently around 0.3 hectares in size.

Crews were originally set to start a prescribed burn near the area today, but it was postponed due to wind.

The fire is unrelated to the prescribed burn.
