Wildfire update planned in B.C. as crews battle about 360 blazes
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s minister of emergency management is scheduled to give an update on the wildfire situation today as some areas in the province cool off while others flare.
Bowinn Ma and Forests Minister Bruce Ralston will be joined by staff from the province to give an overview of the wildfire trouble spots in B.C.
The BC Wildfire Service says recent rainfall and a return to more seasonable temperatures in many parts of the province have reduced fire behaviour on several “major incidents.”
Four wildfires of note — where blazes are either highly visible or a threat to public safety — are burning B.C.’s southeast region, resulting in several evacuation orders or alerts for communities.
