Premier John Horgan and Ministers Mike Farnsworth, and Katrine Conroy addressed the state BC wildfires this afternoon (Tuesday).
They flew over Kamloops and Lytton and met with firefighters in Lillooet, and Horgan said this gave them a better idea of the damages and efforts made to stop fires across the province.
“It’s not a political decision, it’s not done on the basis of we need one. It is done on the basis of the advice of the men and women in the BC Wildfire Service, and I have every confidence that when they say it is time to put one in place, we will put one in place.”
