The BC Wildfire Service was well-travelled in 2025. In a social media post, Minister of Forest Ravi Parmar said the BCWS was deployed to more out of province location than any past season to help fight forest fires. The BCWS helped fight fires in Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, the Yukon, and, for the first time, Newfoundland & Labrador and Nova Scotia this year. In January, they also travelled to support the wildfire suppression effort in California. At home, the 2025 wildfire season in BC wasn’t as bad as 2024 or 2023, but it was still way above the 20-year average for the number of hectares burned.
