B.C. Wildfire Emergency Lifted, But Caution Remains | Vancouver News

British Columbia has lifted its statewide state of emergency, declared back in August due to devastating wildfires like the Bald Range fire that displaced thousands. While conditions are improving and restrictions like the off-road vehicle ban are easing — set to expire Friday at noon Pacific — officials warn the wildfire season is far from over. Forests Minister Ravi Parmar praised the region’s resilience, especially in places like Summerland, and urged tourists to return and support local businesses to help rebuild economically. Cooler, wetter weather helped ease the ban, but authorities stress they’ll remain vigilant and may reinstate restrictions if conditions worsen.
