Since April 1, 2023, 521 wildfires have burned 919,665 hectares of land across the province, the majority of that being the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wildfiresituation.nrs.gov.bc.ca\/incidents?fireYear=2023&amp;incidentNumber=G80280\" target=\"_blank\">Donnie Creek<\/a> wildfire (574,511 hectares), north of Fort St. John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prince George Fire Centre continues to see elevated wildfire activity. The area is being monitored for fire starts from lightning strikes that occurred over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nationally, fire conditions remain challenging, particularly in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. International crews have deployed to support response efforts across the country. B.C. is working closely with the Canadian Interagency Fire Fighting Centre (CIFFC) as discussions around additional out-of-province resources continue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This weekend brought over 12,000 lightning strikes to the province, with the majority striking in the Prince George Fire Centre. While the northern part of B.C. is expected to cool down a bit this week, overall warm and dry conditions persist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesday and Wednesday, continued showers and a risk of thundershowers are expected, with a risk of lightning, particularly over the northwestern and southern parts of the province. Southwesterly winds are forecasted to pick up through northern regions of B.C. later in the week as temperatures cool temporarily.   No significant precipitation is forecast for the weekend.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1
