B.C. crews are battling more than 50 out-of-control fires, including one located about 16 kilometres north of Boston Bar that’s burning on the banks of the Fraser River
service says it’s on the lookout for a surge in wildfire activity as hot weather continues with thunderstorms and wind in the forecast.
The winds come after Environment Canada expanded heat warnings to cover more than two dozen regions and communities, from Whistler to Kelowna to the Kootenays in the southeast, Terrace in the northwest and Fort Nelson in the northeast. A photo posted by the BC Wildfire Service shows the one-hectare blaze burning next to the river near what appears to be railroad tracks in the Fraser Canyon.
