Reading now: 789
The BC Wildfire Service lists the fire danger rating across most of the province as low to moderate but firefighters in several regions still had a busy Easter weekend.
The wildfire service website shows crews responded to 11 blazes between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Most were barely larger than spot fires and were quickly handled, but of the eight reported on Sunday, four remained listed as out of control by midnight.
They included a fire covering half a square kilometre in the southern Interior east of Merritt, and two of three separate fires along Highway 3 south of Cawston in the Similkameen region.
A cause for most of the wildfires is listed as unknown. Grass fires can be common at this time of year as dead grasses dry quickly
