No one expects to have to make a call for help when out on a B.C. backcountry adventure but, unfortunately, it happens all the time.

Whatever your activities this Labour Day long weekend, remember there are wildfire crews working hard in the bush.

The May long weekend is a great time to travel and visit friends and family.

Summer is gradually coming to a close, but the wildfire risk in many parts of the province remains a very serious concern. British Columbians are urged to exercise caution and remain vigilant to help prevent human-caused wildfires.

With B.C. Day around the corner, everyone has a role to play in helping to prevent wildfires and having a safe, healthy long weekend.
