B.C. wildfires map 2017: Current location of wildfires around the province

Wildfires burning around B.C.B.C. remains under a state of emergency as more than 100 wildfires continue to burn across the province. This season is now B.C.’s worst fire season in history and it is far from over.

Approximately 3,600 British Columbians are still on evacuation order and about 12,000 remain on evacuation alert.

In addition, the provincial state of emergency has now been extended until Sept. 1.

It was a difficult weekend for fire crews in the interior as temperatures soared past 30 degrees in some areas. Officials were still able to downgrade an evacuation order for the Batuni Lake area to an alert but those residents are warned they could be asked to leave their homes again at a moment’s notice.

The B.C. Wildfire Service has provided a map of where the fires are located (it may not load in high traffic times so you might need to be patient).

The map is accurate as of Aug. 29, although the wildfire situation may change at any time. The larger flames on the map are considered “wildfires of note.””
