Cooler temperatures welcome, but winds, possible thunderstorms in fire zone forecasts

BY , Aug 3, 2021 5:41 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Cooler temperatures are in the forecast for later this week, but a shifting weather pattern could also bring winds and possible thunderstorms to B-C's wildfire zones.

Fire information officer Erika Berg says the numbers of fires in B-C have stayed in the 240-245 range over the past week, which is much different than previous weeks where there was a steady buildup of fires.

She says fire crews have been holding their own over the past week, but the weather patterns could bring new challenges.

Berg says wildfires have burned more than five thousand five hundred square kilometres since April.
