The number of hectares burned in this year’s wildfire season has already exceeded the hectares burned in 16 of the last 20 wildfire seasons in B.C.

Bowinn Ma, minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, said Thursday that “this year’s wildfire season is already well underway and has been since mid-April.”

She said now is the time to put together a plan for any potential fires and any possible evacuations.

Ma encouraged the public to take 20 minutes to put together an emergency plan and a go-bag if they are asked to leave under an evacuation order.

There are currently 78 active wildfires in the province, with 24 considered out of control.

There are five wildfires of note, which are either highly visible or pose a threat to communities.
