VANCOUVER — Rain and cool weather in southern British Columbia is dousing wildfire activity in the province, but firefighters are urging vigilance despite the drop in the number of active blazes.
The BC Wildfire Service says there are now about 320 active wildfires in the province, continuing a decreasing trend this week as only seven blazes have been started in the last 24 hours while 26 were declared out.
The 2-square-kilometre Corya Creek wildfire in northwestern B.C. about 170 kilometres northeast of Terrace, is the province's only fire-of-note. the wildfire service had to relocate personnel from the South Rockies Incident Management Team from a camp near Invermere late Friday due to a"wind event," although no one was injured.
