The B.C. Wildfire Service is preparing for potential lightning-caused wildfires in the province, including on Vancouver Island, where unusually dry conditions persist.
“There’s a good likelihood as we get into Thursday and particularly Friday that we’ll see lightning strike in the higher terrain of Vancouver Island, and most likely not accompanied by rain, into very receptive fuels.” More firefighters from Mexico and the U.S. are on their way to help fight B.C.’s wildfires in one of the worst fire seasons in the province’s history with more than one million hectares burned.
