British Columbia's worst-ever wildfire season in 2023 appears to have carried over into 2024. The mild and dry fall and winter have created perfect conditions for a record number of so-called “zombie fires.”
Many parts of B.C. had lower-than-average rain in the fall and the ground did not become saturated enough to extinguish them. The fires can continue to burn underneath the snowpack and can then pose a new danger come the spring.
