Hot weather and lightning overnight, Friday, are causing some headaches for East Kootenay firefighters.
The Southeast Fire Centre reports two new fires as a result of lightning.
Both are in the Cranbrook area, near Woods Corner and Pudding.
Fire Information Officer Carlee Kachman says three-person initial attack crews have been sent to tackle each fire.
Castanet will provide more details as they become available.
