Campfires Back But Fire Risk Looms | Vancouver News

Published 1 day, 23 hours ago
Description

Wildfire risk on Vancouver Island is currently low thanks to cooler temps and higher humidity, but experts warn that late summer heat could trigger rapid danger—especially since the ground beneath the surface remains dangerously dry. Even though campfires are back in the Comox Valley, officials are watching closely and could reinstate bans at a moment’s notice. Across BC, a drier-than-usual year and hotter-than-average forecasts mean wildfire season could be intense. Stay safe: never start a fire if it’s windy, and never leave one unattended—make sure it’s completely out before you walk away.
