Fire officials warn of possible fire activity in B.C.

With temperatures on the rise over the next few days, B.C.’s Wildfire Management branch is on alert.

Fire information officer Alyson Couch says there is a chance we’ll start to see an increase in fire activity across B.C.

“The fire danger ratings have started to change, and we are seeing more areas with extreme and high. Right now the areas with the highest ratings are in the North East and many regions in the South as well.”

That means crews could be busy over the next few days.

Although officials don’t have a fire ban in place currently, Couch says campers should be extra vigilant.
