The 130-hectare Willowbrook fire was said to be 100 per cent contained as of this morning.

Oliver Fire Department deputy fire chief Bob Graham said Thursday a large forestry crew was assisting on the fire, as well as a helicopter.

The fire flared up in the White Lake Road area Monday evening.

Its proximity to three homes was a concern, but no evacuations were necessary.

The Willowbrook Fire Department also assisted in fighting the fire. 

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is believed to be lightning caused, according to fire information officer Kelsey Winter.
