    • Wildfire flares on Vancouver's North Shore

    VANCOUVER - Firefighters in West Vancouver are responding to a what they describe as a wildfire at the top of the Caulfeild neighbourhood on the lower slopes of Cypress Falls Park.

    West Vancouver Fire Rescue duty chief Matt Furlot says crews responded at around 7 a.m.

    He said they were trying to pinpoint the exact location of the fire and the best way to access to the flames.

    The neighbourhood is a heavily wooded area with many homes and businesses.

    Smoke from the fire could be seen across much of Vancouver.

    Conditions across the Lower Mainland remain extremely dry, with less than 20 millimetres of rain recorded in the area since early July.
