Some Relief In British Columbia
The CBC has some good news for a change of the wildfire story: Hundreds return home as B.C. wildfires cool
Hundreds of people across B.C. forced from their communities because of wildfires will be headed home on Tuesday as rain and cooler temperatures help firefighters reduce the wildfire threat.
But with hundreds of fires still burning across the province, more than 1,800 people remain under evacuation orders, and thousands more remain under evacuation alerts, ready to leave their homes at a moment’s notice.
If you have been checking the fire map you can see more fire symbols going from red [uncontained] to orange [under control] and from orange to blue [out]. There are still a lot of red symbols in the southern third of the province, but there is noticeable change for the better.
