BREAKING: BC Wildfire Service raises TerraceBC fire danger rating to ‘extreme’
The BC Wildfire Service has raised the fire danger rating to “extreme” for the Terrace region as of June 12, amid growing concerns over extremely dry forest conditions and heightened fire risk.
The “extreme” rating signifies that forest fuels are exceptionally dry and there is an intense risk of new fires igniting easily, spreading swiftly and becoming increasingly difficult for suppression efforts, according to the BC Wildfire Service. The wildfire threat is severe and can challenge even the most organized fire mitigation strategies.
