The official BC Wildfire Service mobile app is now available, providing real-time wildfire information and an interactive map that users can customize to display a variety of fire-related data.

Following an investigation, the BC Wildfire Service has determined the cause of the 2017 Elephant Hill wildfire.

Effective at noon (Pacific time) on Thursday, April 16, 2020, most open burning activities will be prohibited throughout British Columbia to reduce the likelihood of human-caused wildfires, although campfires will still be allowed.

Up to 25 British Columbians who have been affected by the downturn in the forest sector will receive training and work experience in asphalt paving and heavy construction, thanks to more than $450,000 in provincial government funding.

Delivering on its commitment to enhance access to justice for British Columbians, the Government of B.C. has provided a $250,000 grant to establish a new legal clinic at the Kamloops and District Elizabeth Fry Society.

Drivers are advised that heavy snowfall is expected for much of the southern Interior over the next 48 hours, causing challenging travel conditions on a busy pre-holiday weekend.

The BC Wildfire Service plans to burn 11 piles of woody debris northwest of Summerland to help rehabilitate the site of the Finlay Creek wildfire and reduce wildfire risks in the area.
