B.C. overall fire count drops for first time in weeks, as Golden increases fires of note number
The B.C. Wildfire Service says winds fanned by a cold front were to blame for the rapid expansion of an out-of-control fire near Golden, B.C., and it warns of similar fire behaviour even as it brings in rains and cooler weather.
“The fire was out of control. The winds changed. It came so fast,” Stephanie Bowes said in an interview on Thursday. The BC Wildfire Service said that a trend of cooler weather across much of the province had also resulted in a dip in the number of fires burning and allowed crews an opportunity to make progress on some of the approximately 420 active blazes.However, the service said the fires of note — those that pose a threat to people or property or are highly visible — had increased to five, with the addition of the Dogtooth fire.
While the number of wildfires has dropped with the recent change in weather, there are still more than 400 fires burning in B.C.
