Drought conditions ripe for #BCwildfires 😩

BC Greens Leader Emily Lowan's statement on our current Wildfire Emergency. #bcwildfires

We've had total 400+ #BCwildfires 🔥 in previous years. Less in total number this year, BUT...

"We are seeing fuel conditions that we have never seen before... fire behaviour and fire growth that we have never experienced in B.C. up until this point" ~ B.C. director of wildfire operations, Cliff Chapman

B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS): "fuels remain heavily impacted by drought" in the area and, if conditions are sunny, they are highly susceptible to ignition and increased activity.
