Langford firefighters are battling a brush fire in Mill Hill Regional Park this evening.

The fire department is asking the public to avoid the area so that fire apparatus can access the park off Atkins Avenue. Access to the main and west beach of Thetis Lake Regional Park is also limited to allow space for helicopters, according to the Capital Regional District.
