Wind fans B.C. fires, but growth of two largest blazes is limited
WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — Two of British Columbia’s biggest wildfires haven’t grown much over the past few days despite being fanned by strong winds.
Kevin Skrepnek of the BC Wildfire Service says the winds arrived in the province on Friday as forecast but weren’t as strong as feared.
He says there was some rain, cooler temperatures and higher humidity.
Skrepnek says the Hanceville-Riske Creek fire northwest of William’s Lake was no bigger Saturday than it was Friday.
