PHOTOS: Amazing shots of the 545-hectare Shuswap Road wildfire

The BC Wildfire Service has been working hard battling the blaze near Shuswap Road on the east end of Kamloops.

The wildfire is burning close to the community, giving the public a good look at the action as fire crews do their job.

Here’s a look at some of the amazing captures that have come out of it so far.

Patches along the hills still glow at night as the embers from the fire still burn. #fire #nikond610 #nightphotography #kamloops #bcwildfires #wildfire

We are happy to report that as of our last update from the field, the eagle’s nest, which was saved from the East Shuswap Road wildfire on Friday by #BCWildfire Service and @KamFire firefighters, remains in place and eaglets were seen attempting to fly from the nest yesterday. pic.twitter.com/0xdUtv1xMg
