Even if you can no longer see smoke and flames, it doesn't necessarily mean the fire is completely extinguished. A fire can continue to burn underground or can still be considered active even when flames and smoke are not highly visible.

Wildfire behaviour is shaped by the landscape it burns through. In this video, BC Wildfire Service Fire Behaviour Specialists explore how fires spread differently through complex forest stands influenced by harvesting, silviculture treatments, and the legacy of past wildfires. Join us as we head into the field to see how these factors influence fire movement, intensity, and the challenges they present to wildfire operations. | BC Wildfire Service

Between July 7 and 9, there were over 23,000 lightning strikes province-wide, sparking nearly 200 new wildfires. Most of this activity occurred within the Prince George and Northwest Fire Centres. The high number of new lightning starts can be attributed to exceptionally dry conditions that have made forest fuels highly susceptible to ignition. These hot and dry conditions have a big impact on wildfire activity, as fuel moisture content is a key factor in how fires behave. Read the Provincial Wi
