BC Wildfire Service raises fire danger rating in TerraceBC amid heightened wildfire risk
The BC Wildfire Service says the fire danger rating in Terrace has been raised from moderate to high, signaling a serious increase in the risk of wildfires due to extremely dry forest conditions. The organization warns that new fires may ignite effortlessly, burn intensely and pose significant challenges to firefighting efforts.
The heightened fire danger rating in Terrace comes on the heels of a recent wildfire that broke out in Rosswood, situated northwest of the city. The fire, which originally escalated to an “out of control” status, was successfully brought under control within a few days. Despite the swift containment, the incident served as a stark reminder of the fire-prone conditions in the region.
