Summer storms across B.C. led to nearly 70,000 lightning strikes in the past week, which has sparked more wildfires, officials said at an update on Wednesday afternoon.

As of Wednesday morning, there were 120 active wildfires across B.C., including 12 that started in the last 24 hours and 27 that were declared out.

While much of British Columbia experienced rain on Wednesday, with some more to come in parts on Thursday, the B.C. Wildfire Service said it is not enough.
