BC Wildfire Service director of fire centre operations Rob Schweitzer said most of the new starts over the long weekend were naturally caused. “Of the very small handful of human-caused wildfires, all have been declared out are under control or are being held,” he said of long weekend blazes. The province currently has 249 active fires, with 174 of those being naturally caused and 17 being human caused. With a weather system moving through the region on Sunday,, Kamloops received five millimetres of rain, according to Environment Canada. Schweitzer said although the rain did curb fire behaviour in the area, allowing crews to attack and make progress, conditions are expected to quickly return to the extreme dry scenario that has been the norm so far this year.
