Wildfires continue to drop in B.C., just over 40 blazes burning out of control
The number of out-of-control wildfires continues to drop in British Columbia on the heels of a cold front bringing rain and fall-like temperatures to many areas.
About 280 blazes remain active across the province with 15 per cent or just over 40 of those fires classified as burning out of control.
That’s down from more than 100 out-of-control fires last week.
None of the current blazes are considered “wildfires of note,” a designation issued when a fire is highly visible or poses a threat to people or infrastructure.
