NO SIGN OF WILDFIRES ABATING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
More than 215 wildfires fires are burning in British Columbia and one official says they are looking at a “deteriorating situation.” The fires have blackened about 400 square kilometres of land and forced more than 14,000 people from their homes. Several evacuation alerts are in effect, including one posted last night for the more than 10,000 residents of Williams Lake. They’ve been told to prepare to leave at a moment’s notice.
