BC Wildfires Force Mass Evacuations | Toronto News

BC declares state of emergency as 100+ wildfires rage, with the Bald Range blaze forcing over 20,000 evacuations amid worsening heat and dry conditions. High fire risk looms in central Interior and Okanagan regions, fueled by dry lightning and steep terrain where fires can explode rapidly. Evacuees describe terrifying escapes under ash-filled skies glowing red, with sudden wind shifts turning deadly. Officials urge public to report fires as smoke blocks aerial surveillance, and DriveBC warns apps may be outdated—check their site for real-time closures. Firefighters are mobilizing, aided by international crews, while water restrictions ease for farms needing fire protection.
