B.C. Wildfires Rage Amid Smoke Crisis | Vancouver News
Description
BC’s wildfire crisis intensifies as the Bald Range fire near Summerland destroys or damages 150+ homes, with more at risk—though it’s now moving away from communities. Firefighters battle extreme drought and forecasted dry heat, while smoke blankets Castlegar and the Okanagan, prompting free N95 mask distributions by provincial, federal, and Red Cross agencies. Meanwhile, Cariboo residents can return home as evacuation orders ease, but the massive Pear Lake fire—covering 1,500 sq km—remains out of control. The fight is far from over.
