Thanks Dwayne,
The areas East of the Fraser have been receiving a bit of rain. Along with the rain there have been a few more lightning starts but the Wildfire Service initial attack crews have been on Red Alert the last month and have been jumping on them fast. (I think the crews are sleeping under their helos!
)
The Chilcotin on the other hand is getting very dry, very gusty winds coming down off the Coast Mountains. Those fire may stop growing when the snow starts falling.
The Cariboo is still so dry we have a total backcountry ban in place. Even launching a boat on a lake is forbidden right now. Hopefully we can get back in the bush soon as I still need to put up about 5 cords of firewood before I can start hunting this fall.
