High-tech tools, preparedness, weather helping crews stop wildfires in BC before they spread

From Global News.

Crews made quick work of a wildfire burning in the hills above West Kelowna, B.C., on Wednesday morning, knocking it down in just a few hours. It’s a success story that’s becoming common across B.C. this season.

In just over a month, three separate wildfires flared up in the Okanagan — Whelan Creek, Drought Hill, and Conifryd Creek — but all were brought under control within days, some within hours. BC Wildfires says a combination of weather and preparedness is helping crews stay ahead.

Victoria Femia reports.
