Hey there, time traveller!

VICTORIA – The BC Wildfire Service says the threat of new fires remains across much of the province despite rain in the north and along the coast, as well as some cooler temperatures in the forecast.
The service says in its latest update that the Cariboo region and southeastern B.C. will continue to see hot, dry and windy conditions, and people should remain cautious while undertaking outdoor recreational activities.
The update comes as the number of active wildfires in the province has dropped to about 120, with nine declared out in the last 24 hours and three new blazes were discovered.
The Cariboo Regional District and the Ulkatcho First Nation say in a joint statement that an evacuation alert issued earlier this week for the Holtry Creek area has been lifted.
At least one evacuation order and several alerts remain in place in the Cariboo region.
The BC Wildfire Service says in its update that while the southern portions of the province will remain warm and dry, northwestern B.C. stretching down to Vancouver Island can expect a drop in temperatures as well as showers beginning on Saturday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 19, 2025.
