Winds Fuel BC Wildfires This Weekend | Calgary News

A major wildfire crisis is escalating in southern British Columbia as a dry, windy cold front hits — no rain in sight, just stronger winds fanning flames and risking new lightning fires. The Pear Lake blaze, spanning 900+ sq km, has triggered evacuation orders for over 1,800 properties across Thompson-Nicola and Cariboo regions, while the T’it’q’et First Nation near Lillooet also issued an urgent evacuation due to the Riley Creek Wildfire. With nearly 110 active fires burning — 48 out of control — residents are bracing for rapidly worsening conditions.
