Fire danger not keeping tourists away from BC interior
KAMLOOPS — With near-record temperatures scorching British Columbia’s landscape today, it’s the perfect time to get to a lake or a river, find some shade, and enjoy the sunshine. But with that sunshine comes an increased risk of wildfire danger, and with more than 470 wildfires burning across the province, CFJC Today went out to a local nearby provincial park to find out if locals and visitors to the region are altering their recreational plans with the thought of wildfire safety in mind.
Jerry Davis was one of the hundreds of campers and day visitors to Lac Le Jeune provincial park Thursday. The Calgarian and his wife spend a large chunk of their summers in BC, enjoying what the province has to offer.
“We love the lakes in BC, we love the summer weather in BC,” Davis tells CFJC Today. “You guys have it pretty good.”
