KAMLOOPS — 11 days into the wildfire related state of emergency in B.C. and fire crews are getting a clearer picture of what they are up against.

An unstable airmass is moving into the Interior Thursday and rain is expected, but the latest models suggest it won’t be enough to break down the fire danger rating.

Only a few milimetres of rain is expected later this week, not enough to make a big difference to the fire situation and lightning is expected with the unstable airmass as well.
