After fire crews had the first fire 100 percent contained, another five-hectare fire sparked up in the Ruby Bowl on August 3, 2009.
A 20-person crew has water on-site and is working to establish a guard on the west flank of the fire. . . Throughout the day there may be air support supplied to the ground crew should it be required. . . The Ruby Bowl terrain is very rocky, with minimal alpine vegetation and is isolated from the more commonly accessed portions of Blackcomb Mountain.
No structures are currently in danger.
