The BC Wildfire Service says it now considers eight of the more than 300 fires burning across the province as “wildfires of note,” as crews prepare for hot and dry conditions in the south of the province over the upcoming long weekend.
The Dunn Creek fire, about 100 kilometres north of Kamloops, and Sitkum Creek fire, northeast of Vernon, were added to the list of six wildfires of note, which are either highly visible or pose a threat to public safety or infrastructure.
