'The models do not look terrific for the rest of the summer,' said Cliff Chapman, director of operations at BC Wildfire Service.
To date, 1.39 million hectares of B.C. forest has gone up in flames during the 2023 wildfire season, surpassing the most ever lost during an entire fire season.
"July and August are typically our warmer and drier months and we do not see rainfall as we do at times see in May or June. Right now, Environment Canada is forecasting warmer than average conditions...and less precipitation. And while the primary wildfire area of focus has predominately been through the north, he expects that to shift south as evidenced by the St. Mary's River fire burning north of Cranbrook which has grown to 800 hectares since it was first reported Monday afternoon.
