Fire hazard high across province with camp fire ban
The Chetwynd Forest Service reports a high fire hazard with recent rain lowering it from extreme. A ban on all camp fires remains until Victoria main office lifts it as conditions improve. Fourteen fires burn in Bickford Mountain and Carbon Lakes, led by the carbon Lakes blaze south of Williston Lake. Twelve fires under observation, two being mopped up, with two cars, a helicopter, and a tank-equipped skidder aiding a 24 member crew battling the blazes.
