Global News Global News — 1min

The owner of the GreenWood Country Inn in Pemberton, B.C., says crews have been working through the night to protect the community from a wildfire.

The Signal Hill wildfire is now an estimated 97 hectares in size and burning close to the community of about 3,600 people.

“It’s been very spectacular to see the fire this close,” Margit de Haan, owner of the inn told Global News.

“We had many fires here in the past, but the fire is close to town.

It is pretty scary.

But luckily, we do have a lot of water sources.

The lake and Green River is nearby.”
