Most of southern B.C. still has a fire risk rating between high and extreme
VANCOUVER -- Above average temperatures for many parts of British Columbia aren't expected to ease soon and Environment Canada says there is no hint of showers until at least the weekend for some southern regions hit hard by wildfires.
The fire risk remains high to extreme over most of southern B.C., and the B.C. Wildfire Service says 40 blazes are ranked as fires of note, meaning flames are either highly visible or pose an immediate safety risk. But forecasters say temperatures there won't budge from the mid- to high-30s all week, and there's no sign of rain.
