Weekend weather in central B.C. causes ‘very aggressive’ fire activity

British Columbia’s wildfire service says long weekend weather conditions caused “very aggressive fire activity” on several active blazes in the province’s central fire zone. 
The service says the area covering the Vanderhoof and Fort St. James fire zone saw less humidity than expected, coupled with hot temperatures and strong winds over the long weekend. 
The wildfire service says the conditions increased fire behaviour in the region, spurring evacuation orders
