Heavy downpours bring help in controlling wildfires
PRINCE GEORGE – Following weeks of a heat wave and dry conditions, Prince George and area has seen significant downpours, which has been a big help in preventing and controlling wildfires.
“It has been quite helpful to receive rain, particularly in the south of the fire centre. There are a number of fires out in the Robson Valley that started due to lightning events, and rain has been helpful for combating those as well,” said Prince George Fire Centre Fire Information Officer Adam Nicholas.
