Director of B.C. Wildfire Services says parts of province ‘may not see enough precipitation to knock down the hazard’
A British Columbia wildfire expert says a persistent winter drought in some parts of the province means spring rain may dictate this year’s wildfire season.
While it’s been a relatively average spring so far, he says long-term forecasts indicate parts of B.C. “may not see enough precipitation to knock down the hazard.” He told a news conference on Thursday that 131 fires have been recorded in B.C. since January, a little higher than the 10-year average, but the burned area is less than half the average.
There is currently one wildfire of note burning in the province, meaning it’s highly visible or poses a potential threat to public safety.
