Uptick in active wildfires is caused by spring dip, say B.C. fire officers | CBC News Over the past several days, the number of wildfires in B.C. has doubled. This annual dip is caused by a moisture decrease in coniferous tree needles.

Wildfire activity in BC is already ramping up and it’s a reminder that hotter, drier summers are our new normal. This #emergencypreparednessweek remember: being ready means not just preparing ourselves, but also protecting ecosystems so they can stay healthy & resilient.
