Williams Lake has been saved from a wildfire that came close to the Cariboo city. The BC Wildfire Service says that fire is now in the mop-up stage - even though it burned right next to the downtown area. The lake itself was still closed on Monday to allow aircraft to safely scoop up water. Close to 340 fires are burning in the province right now - some were sparked by lightning over the weekend.
