Crews battling B.C. wildfires get weather break with cooler temps and lighter winds

Two wildfires continue to threaten communities in British Columbia’s Fraser Canyon, even though the winds have died down a bit.

Officials with the BC Wildfire Service say the Brunswick Creek and Ainslie Creek wildfires remain classified as out of control.

They say slightly cooler temperatures and some relief from the gusting winds have helped crews mitigate the risk to area homes and local infrastructure.

The forecast suggests that the more favourable conditions are expected to persist over the next two days.
