Smoke Covers Chetwynd and Area
Last week thick ground fog like smoke shrouded Chetwynd as a massive out of control fire in the Yukon and multiple fires in British Columbia emitted smoke drifting toward Prince George and Grande Prairie Alberta. The BC Forest Service deployed a DC-6 airtanker and a bird dog aircraft with an air attack officer to battle the fires amid extreme to high fire danger across Tumbler Ridge Dawson Creek Hudsons Hope and Mt Lemoray. A total of 146 new BC fires were reported last week with 93 caused by lightning as conditions threaten faster, hotter blazes.
