Insurance study that ranked Kamloops with highest wildfire risk unfair, incomplete: BC Wildfire Service
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops is ranked No. 1 in a recent study that assesses risk to Canadian cities ahead of the 2024 wildfire season.
The study — published last month by MyChoice Financial, a Toronto-based business that operates in the insurance industry — is not comprehensive and should be looked at with a critical eye, according to BC Wildfire Service fire information officer Forrest Tower.
“I would really hesitate to make any decisions or be really concerned or be scared by something like this, saying Kamloops is No. 1 in all of Canada, again, based on really long-term weather modelling,” Tower said.
