Hundreds of British Columbians were able to return home as some wildfire-related evacuation orders were lifted Tuesday, but B.C. fire officials warn that rain will soon be replaced by more heat going into midweek. The B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS) says rain and cooler temperatures the past week have made it easier to quell fires, though firefighters remain wary of wind and thunderstorms. “While cooler weather and rain has given us an advantage in many parts of the province, we’re urging people to stay prepared,” B.C. Forests Minister Bruce Ralston said at a news conference Tuesday. “Hot weather will return this summer.” More showers and cooler weather were in the forecast for some parts of the province throughout Monday, giving relief from recent hotter and drier conditions that drove up fire intensity across B.C. But a hot, dry spell is expected to return later this week.
