Windy, dry conditions could cause some of these to flare up. Since April 1, 2023, 566 wildfires have burned over 960,000 hectares of land. One hundred of those fires are still active. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campfire prohibitions and new area restrictions have been implemented this week. Please be aware of any bans and restrictions in your area by visiting the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/gov\/content\/safety\/wildfire-status\/prevention\/fire-bans-and-restrictions\" target=\"_blank\">BC Wildfire Service website<\/a> and checking with local authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nationally, there are 501 active wildfires with a total of 3,038 this year having burned 8.1 million hectares of land. The majority of wildfires have been in Quebec and B.C. International crews are supporting efforts across Canada, and B.C. is coordinating additional out-of-province resources through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thunderstorms are expected today and tomorrow, bringing potential for hail, localized downpours and strong, gusty winds along the Rockies, extending as far north as Fort Nelson. Smoky, cloudy conditions up north may help decrease current fire activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the weekend, very windy conditions are expected for the Central and Southern Interior, which may increase existing fire activity. A chance of showers along the mid-coast and northeast may reach the Donnie Creek wildfire come Sunday. However, conditions are expected to remain warm, dry and windy for most of the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex
