This week’s rain and cooler conditions are a help but hundreds of evacuees remain as B.C.’s collection of wildfires continues to grow. There are about 360 fires burning at the moment including the two large ones in the Slocan Valley. A 40-kilometre stretch of Highway 6 along Slocan Lake remained closed on Monday. There are six other fires-of-note in the province including the Shetland Creek wildfire between Cache Creek and Spences Bridge.
