Default BC Wildfires

Just a heads up for anyone heading towards the British Columbia interior,there are many wildfires burning right now and evacuations taking place in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.Check conditions before hitting the road and be prepared to make other plans,sadly it looks like no rain in the forecast to calm things down.Condolences to those that have lost their homes,hopefully not any more are lost.

Was in 100 Mile last week when the first fire started. Had to evac out on Monday this week. Fires all over the province now. For sure, if you've got a trip planned anywhere in BC, check for road closures, etc. before you hit the road.
