Cliff Chapman, director of operations for the B.C. Wildfire Service said the province is just entering the “core fire season” of July and August
“The models don’t look great for the rest of the summer,” said Chapman."With the amount of lightning we saw in this province over the course of the last 10 days coupled with the drought that we are experiencing, we have high potential for holdover fires.”
B.C.’s drought bulletin shows 18 of the province’s 34 water basins are at drought Level 4, meaning harm to ecosystems and communities is likely. A further four are at the highest Level 5, when all efforts should be made to conserve water and protect critical environmental flows. Agriculture Minister Pam Alexis said the fires have resulted in a need for hay and grain to feed animals.
