Heatwaves and thunderstorms have contributed to major wildfires in many different areas of B.C.
“In the last 24 hours, 62 new fires have started in British Columbia,” said Horgan.
He added that 29,000 lightning strikes hit across B.C. in the last 24 hours as well.
“We may well, depending on how the fire season starts to unfold, require a provincial state of emergency such as we have seen in past fire seasons in this province,” said Farnworth.
He added that the Canadian military may need to be called in at some point if things get worse.
