How much rain would it take to put a serious dent in B.C.’s wildfires?
KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Fire Centre is welcoming the possibility of showers over the coming days.
Environment Canada says there is a 40 per cent chance of showers today and Sunday and a 60 per cent chance on Monday.
“So, we do have a cold front that is coming in today and with that, it will bring cooler temperatures,” says Fire Information Officer Marla Catherall. “They are expected to range between 24 to 28 degrees, so quite a bit cooler than what we’ve been experiencing lately. It definitely does benefit us with firefighting efforts and hopefully we will get some rain.”
However, she says it would take a significant amount of the wet stuff to put a serious dent in the wildfires currently burning in the Kamloops Fire Centre.
