The number of wildfires burning in B-C has remained steady in the range of 225 as the number of properties on evacuation order and on alert has dropped.
Emergency Management B-C says 18 evacuation orders covered three-thousand-537 properties as of Tuesday evening, a drop of 217 from the day before.
Residents of more than six thousand properties were told to be ready to leave on short notice as 68 evacuation alerts remained in place, down by 22 from Monday.
The B-C Wildfire Service says cooler temperatures and higher relative humidity have helped firefighting crews, though the province’s state of emergency has been extended for two weeks as the risk of fire growth remains.
