WATCH: Crews scramble to contain a brush fire that was spotted in Cypress Provincial Park. Catherine Urquhart is on scene.

Crews have launched an aggressive attack on a fire on Cypress Mountain this afternoon.

West Vancouver Fire and Rescue Asst. Chief Jeff Bush said they received a call about the fire around 3 p.m. The blaze was relatively small– about 80 feet by 20 feet — but wind and dry conditions caused it to grow quickly.

Bush said there is road access into the area, which allowed crews to knock the fire down quickly.

More than a dozen firefighters are on the ground putting out hot spots.

The cause of the fire has not been determined, but Bush says it is possible it was caused by a cigarette.
