B.C. Wildfires Still Roaring Despite Emergency Lift | Canada News

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

B.C. has lifted its state of emergency — but don’t breathe easy yet. Over 200 wildfires still burn, half out of control, including the Bald Range fire that once forced evacuations from Summerland. Now classified as “being held,” it’s scorched 250 square kilometers. Despite the emergency being lifted, crews are still pouring in — 378 firefighters, 57 heavy rigs, and 10 helicopters — plus 100 Mexican wildland fighters back on the job. Evacuation orders remain in place, and local authorities can still declare their own emergencies. With scorching heat and dry conditions fueling the danger, B.C. is staying on high alert, ready to redeclare an emergency if needed.
