Cooler weather helps to cut the number of new wildfire starts
BY , Jul 20, 2021 1:15 AM - REPORT AN ERRORCooler weather cut the number of new wildfire starts over the weekend across BC, but the BC Wildfire Service says 300 blazes are still burning and 37 of them are either highly visible or a direct threat to lives and property.
The wildfire service says three new wildfires have been sparked in the last two days.
It says the wildfire danger remains high to extreme across most of southern BC, but rain has cut the risk to moderate, or even lower, across much of the northern half of the province.
The chance of showers remains in the forecast for many northern and central regions, but Environment Canada also says there's a good chance the rain will be mixed with lightning in some areas.
