Wildfire state of emergency likely to end this week
KAMLOOPS — It looks like the provincial state of emergency in British Columbia sparked by this summer’s devastating wildfires is coming to a close.
Chris Duffy, executive director of operations with Emergency Management BC, made the comments Wednesday afternoon.
“We’ll see a reduction in operation levels by the end of the week,” he said. “It’s Day 137 for operational staff so it’s been a long season.”
Pressed for extra details, Duffy said he expected the state of emergency “to be lifted by the end of day Friday.”
