Crews are battling a small forest fire that was discovered Tuesday near Cameron Lake, east of Port Alberni.

The fire is only about 0.3 hectares in size and is burning north of the lake near Mount Horne, according to the Coastal Fire Centre.

Nine fire personnel have been deployed and two helicopters are bucketing water onto the blaze.

There’s no word on whether the blaze is human-caused.

The Coastal Fire Centre said it expected to have more details on the fire later Wednesday.
