Driest April since ’43 has PG Fire Centre urging safety over long weekend
PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Fire Centre just endured its dryest April since 1943.
As a result, those conditions are contributing to the current moderate danger zone across the region, with some areas experiencing a high risk of wildfires.
“The the last week alone, we’ve had 24 incidents which have led to nine wildfires, and there are three active wildfires currently in our fire centre,” explained Rachelle Winsor, Communications Specialist with the Prince George Fire Centre.
