A working group comprised of members of Public Safety Canada, the Canadian Armed Forces and British Columbia emergency management and wildfire officials are set to meet today as several hundred blazes burn across the province.
The wildfire service says Highway 20 north of Bella Coola was closed early Sunday evening as the"aggressive" fire near Young Creek swelled to 22 square kilometres.
The Thomson-Nicola Regional District says the Bush Creek East fire near Kamloops is"highly visible," but no evacuation orders or alerts have been issued even as gusty winds have fanned wildfires around the city.
