The wildfire risk over much of B-C is now rated as low to moderate — thanks to weekend rain — but forestry officials say it won’t be long before woodlands dry out again and the extreme danger resumes.
Temperatures in the mid to high 30s are expected by later this week from Kamloops to Vernon — the same area where the White Rock Lake wildfire has destroyed properties in Monte Lake and forced thousands of evacuations and alerts.
The wildfire service says roughly 270 fires are burning around B-C — most of them in the southern Interior and Okanagan regions.
Nearly six-thousand-500 square kilometres of land has been charred since the start of the wildfire season on April 1st.
