The burn was being done to assist the Ministry of Lands, Water, and Resource Stewardship in restoring bighorn sheep habitat.
The work should help them increase sight lines to avoid predators as well as increase forage quality and quantity.
BC Wildfire Service officials said it should also help reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires in the area.
