The remnants of Hurricane Beryl have brought flash floods and destruction to parts of the Maritimes, but federal officials say the storm has also reduced the risk of wildfires in parts of Eastern Canada, at least for now.

Overall this wildfire season is far less severe than the record-setting year in 2023, but the risk for new fires is still high in particular for B.C., Yukon and Northwest Territories.
