Wildfire activity remains low throughout northern B.C.
That’s forest fire smoke.
The PGFD covers an area of 31.8 million hectares of central and northeast B.C. that’s 10 times the size of Vancouver Island. “All those fires are quite remote and there’s not a lot of activity so they’re just being watched, said PGFS fire information officer Hannah Harris. “Right now they’re not presenting much activity and they’re not threatening anything at this time.”
“As the moment winds are calm and that’s expected to remain today. We are expecting some more gusty winds on Thursday, however, we’re making very good progress on this fire.” “We have had a week of hot and dry weather and that’s expected to continue for a couple days and then our forecasters are saying we might see thunderstorms and gusty winds on Thursday and when we have lightning activity there’s a potential for those fires to hold over and not show themselves until a few days later, so it’s important for folks to report any smoke or fire activity they see.”There are currently five wildfires of note, one on the Kamloops Fire District, and four in Southeast.
