The dry conditions in BC's forests is concerning and fire management is challenging.
"And it's going to get more challenging," says BC Research Chair in Emergency Preparedness Mike Flannigan. "With climate change and increasing demands on fire management. There's more value in the landscape as we continue to build and develop. A fire used to spread throught the bush, now it bumps into communities and powerlines."
Flannigan added lightning caused wildfires are up significantly this year.
