As May turns into June, the B.C. Wildfire Service has already been in action on 227 fires in the current fire season. That’s not an unusual figure, the service’s chief fire information officer says. But what is unusual is how aggressive the current fire situation is, with several fires already posing serious challenges to firefighters. “This has everything to do with the weather,” Kevin Skrepnek said Sunday. “Unseasonably hot and dry, six to 10 degrees hotter than usual in most places, this feels more like early July.” There are currently 73 fires burning across the province, with a trio fires of note.
