Number of B.C. wildfires dips but heat, conditions expected to worsen

August 7, 2025

The number of wildfires burning in British Columbia is on the decline after more than doubling during a spate of hot, dry conditions and thunderstorms that produced tens of thousands of lightning strikes across the province last week.

The BC Wildfire Service website shows 107 active blazes, with four started in the last 24 hours, while 21 were declared out over the same time period.
