Wind and lightning following recent heat has officials on alert, particularly in the east
British Columbia’s wildfire 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.
