B.C. regions at greatest risk of wildfire from increasingly dry conditions
Firefighters are battling an out-of-control wildfire in Squamish, B.C.
Flames and smoke were first spotted late Monday afternoon in the Northridge area between Dowad Drive and Depot Road, east of Highway 99.
The 0.5-hectare fire is burning just above some homes and as it is out of control, the BC Wildfire Centre says it could spread.
