The BC Wildfire Service said the growth over the weekend was driven by wind gusts reaching 50 kilometres an hour
It has forced evacuations of 155 properties in the North Bend and Fishblue Lake areas of the Fraser Valley Regional District, as well as from the Boothroyd Indian Band
More than 250 properties are on evacuation alert
The blaze was discovered last Thursday
Officials believe the blaze was human-caused, but an investigation in the coming days will determine how it started
