Weather change gives wildfire crews momentum in fight against Ross Moore Lake fire
KAMLOOPS — Mother Nature has given B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS) crews a chance to make some real headway in their fight against the Ross Moore Lake wildfire south of Kamloops.
Speaking to CFJC Today Tuesday morning (July 25), Fire Information Officer Noelle Kekula said the storm system that blew through the Kamloops area Monday night helped slow down an intense drying trend.
“We’re seeing cooler temperatures, lighter winds and moisture in the air — you can feel there’s a bit more moisture and humidity in the air,” said Kekula. “We are really thankful for this little break in our weather pattern.”
The system brought some rain as well, but the accumulations were not significant.
