Southern Vancouver Island remains under an extreme fire danger rating, and models are predicting smoke to roll into the area early Sunday morning.

“On the southern tip of the Island, we have extremely dry forest fuels and the fire risk is very serious. New fires will start easily, spread rapidly, and challenge fire suppression efforts,” said Sam Bellion, Coastal Fire information officer.
“So far this season on the Coast, almost all of our starts are suspected to be human-caused,” said Bellion. “As the hot weather continues and the firedanger rating increases, we want to make sure we’re devoting our resources to the lightning-caused wildfires, and not those human starts.”
