As of September 24, Battleship Mountain wildfire is classified as Being Held.

The once-out of control wildfire will be downgraded as there has been no significant growth since September 15th.

Heavy equipment is being used to mitigate road hazards. Danger tree specialists, falling coordinators and fallers continue danger tree assessment and removal.

Nearby communities can still expect to see smoke within the fire's perimeter over the coming weeks. This is common with large wildfires, and smoke will continue to be visible until there is significant rainfall at the site. Smoke appearing from well within the fire perimeter and burned material is common. However, smoke that rises from green, unburned fuel or from outside of fire's perimeter should be reported. 

The only remaining wildfire of note for the season in British Columbia is burning near the small northern community of Hudson's
Hope and is estimated to be more than 300-square kilometres in size.
